Beginning Spring Quarter 2008, UCSD will offer a European
studies minor program highlighting Europe’s political and economic expansion,
as well as broader issues of national identity.
Other minor topics include Europe’s
Enlightenment, immigration, Islam, the European Constitution, new forms of
communication and art, the politics of fear, terror and democracy and Europe’s

organizations. He added that those pursuing law, biomedical research, medicine,
business or those who wish to study aboad in Europe will
also find the program especially beneficial.
