Southeast European Studies (Minor)*

The Southeast European Studies Minor promotes an understanding of regional parallels and individual differences among the peoples of Southeast Europe. Addressing the causes of conflict and resources for conflict resolution, the SES Minor focuses on the dynamic, prevailing images of self and other among the peoples of Southeastern Europe.  

The program is built on the foundations of anthropology, archaeology, social history, political science, art history, and comparative literature. The interdisciplinary perspective of the SES Minor aims to provide a contextual background for the more effective application of academic disciplines (e.g., Journalism and Mass Communication, European Studies, and Business Administration). The program thereby aspires to contribute to the debate surrounding contemporary policy challenges and social issues throughout the Southeastern European community in a globalizing world.

*Being enrolled in at least one undergraduate major program is obligatory. Up to 2 minors could be added to a major, at no extra cost.
