| Donald J. Puchala, Acting Director OverviewThe undergraduate major in the Contemporary European Studies Program is designed to provide a broadly based, interdisciplinary foundation for undergraduates in the College of Liberal Arts who are interested in contemporary European history, geography, politics, and economics. It encompasses an examination of recent developments throughout Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, Russia, and the Mediterranean region. CESP majors are required to develop a working knowledge of a second European language and to acquire some experience studying in the region. Each student is required to develop a program of study that combines work from two or more academic departments. Academic advisement is done by the program director in consultation with faculty from the participating departments. Faculty associates include Gerasimos Augustinos, history; William Edmiston, French; Wolfgang Elfe, German; Julian Minghi, geography; Kristia H. Finnigan and Gordon Smith, government and international studies. Degree Requirements(120 hours) 1. General Education Requirements (53-62 hours)For a general outline, see "College of Liberal Arts." 2.
