Western European Studies - Grinnell College

Western European Studies from Grinnell College is a Campus Bachelor Liberal Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. In this concentration, understanding a culture so rich and complex as that of Western Europe requires interdisciplinary study of its histories, languages, and cultures. Carefully selected courses in the Humanities and Social Studies can provide access to methods and fields basic to such knowledge. In order to assure that courses in the concentration are indeed carefully selected, students consult with their academic adviser and the program chair (the concentration adviser should not be from the major department). Together, student, adviser, and chair work out a course of study for the final four semesters that also must have the approval of the committee. Because of the great variety of courses taught about Western European society and culture, students may opt for any of three possibilities for this concentration: the Classical Heritage, Medieval and Renaissance Studies, or Modern Europe.
