The pressing issues facing Europe today reveal its tremendous diversity and the globalizing elements that invite investigation. When you understand complex European relations and dynamics in the past and present, you'll stand out as a globally informed leader with critical thinking and communication skills.
The European studies certificate program provides you with a broad overview of European countries, including their natural environment and their cultural, demographic, economic and political characteristics.
In the program, you focus on the interconnectedness of European politics, religious diversity, ethnicities, socioeconomic justice and sustainable solutions. The program also develops your ability to analyze the historical development of the region and its exchanges with other world cultures.
You analyze what it has meant to be European in the past, how the concept has shifted in a globalized world, and how that knowledge can be applied to contemporary political and cultural debates as well as to professional opportunities in the region.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
