GEOGRAPHY OF EUROPE

Catalog description

Europe is unique in terms of its historical cultural influence around the world, but over recent decades, Europe has undergone significant change and experienced many struggles. The attempts to integrate have led to significant debates about just what it means to be “European.” This course covers Europe using a systematic approach. Students study the physical, political, religious, linguistic, social and economic environments within Europe. In addition, students explore the issues that tie Europeans to each other and to the outside world. Students sum up many of these aspects with case studies of nations or regions that typify the issues that face Europe today.
