Major Study Requirements
The interdisciplinary European Studies Major requires 36
hours of work in approved courses from a very broad range
of departmental offerings (list available on Web site or in
European Studies office). All students must take 12 hours of
courses in a European language other than English or the
equivalent (testing out or taking a 300 level or above course in
the language). Students are further required to take a minimum
of 3 hours in courses with predominantly European content
and focus from each of the following four general areas:
1) Fine Arts (Art/Art History, Dance, Media Arts, Music,
Theatre)
2) History
3) Literature and Philosophy (English, Comparative
Literature, Foreign Languages and Literatures,
Philosophy)
4) Social Science (Anthropology, Economics, Geography,
Political Science, Sociology)
In addition to the distribution requirements outlined above,
students must take the interdisciplinary “European Studies
Seminar” (3 hours), plus an additional 9 hours from the
courses in the approved European Studies catalog (list available
on Web site or in European Studies office).
The non-language courses (24 hours) must meet the following
guidelines:
No more than 6 hours below the 300 level;
No more than 12 hours in any one department; and
No more than 3 hours in undergraduate readings or
individual studies courses.
Students are encouraged, where possible, to construct with
the advice of the European Studies Director a “disciplinary
focus” tied to the departmental discipline in which they take
the majority of their courses.
Departmental Honors
Students who seek honors in European Studies should contact
the Director. Graduating with Honors requires a minimum grade
point average of 3.5 and the writing of an Honors Thesis.
Minor Study Requirements
The interdisciplinary European Studies minor requires 30
hours of work in approved courses from a very broad range
of departmental offerings (list available on Web site or in
European Studies office). All students must take 12 hours of
courses in a European language other than English or the
equivalent (testing out or taking a 300 level or above course in
the language). Students are further required to take a minimum
of 3 hours in courses with predominantly European content
and focus from three of the following four general areas:
1) Fine Arts (Art/Art History, Dance, Media Arts, Music,
Theatre)
2) History
3) Literature and Philosophy (English, Comparative
Literature, Foreign Languages and Literatures,
Philosophy)
4) Social Science (Anthropology, Economics, Geography,
Political Science, Sociology)
In addition to the distribution requirements outlined above,
students must take an additional 9 hours from the courses in
the approved European Studies catalog (list available on Web
site or in European Studies office).
The non-language courses must meet the following guidelines:
No more than 6 hours below the 300 level;
No more than 9 hours in any one department; and
No more than 3 hours in undergraduate readings or individual
studies courses.
NOTE: The list of approved courses, or European
Studies catalog, is a compilation of all undergraduate
courses offered by The University of New Mexico which
are devoted mostly to European orientations. These
include, in addition to those offered in the College
of Arts and Sciences, certain courses in the College
of Fine Arts and the Schools of Architecture and
Planning, Management and Law. The list is available
on the European Studies Web site and in the European
Studies office. The list is not necessarily complete since
new courses are added every year, and students are
therefore encouraged to ask about courses not found
on the list that appear to satisfy the requirements.

Introduction
The combined major in Russian Studies is administered by
the interdepartmental committee listed above. The goal of
the program is to provide the student with a broad knowledge
of modern Russia and Eastern Europe through the study
of humanities, language, literature and the social sciences.
Study of the Russian language beyond a reading knowledge
is required. The major does not require a minor for graduation,
though one is offered.
