Curriculum
The multidisciplinary 40-credit hour program in European and Eurasian Studies includes:
- A 3-credit Cornerstone on Europe and Eurasia (IAff 311);
- A 3-credit International Economics requirement;
- A 15-credit Core Field
that provides a broad foundation for understanding
the European and Eurasian regions. (The course options and
distribution requirements are listed below.)
- A 9-credit Professional
Specialization Field, tailored to individual
career goals. Students choose one Professional Specialization
Field, selecting three courses listed under that field.
Students may design their own field with the Program Director’s
approval, or select one of the following fields:
- A 1 or 2-credit Skills Workshop (IAff
201 or 202).
Skills Workshops are designed to supplement substantive
graduate course work with practical skills and knowledge
that professionals need to perform effectively in the workplace.
- Elective courses (5 or 6 credits).
- A 3-credit EES Capstone
Course (IAff
213), to be taken at the end of the program.
- A language proficiency
requirement in a modern European language (other than English).
- A 6-credit thesis
option.
Other academic programs (non-degree)
- Certificate in European Union Studies. Students
who successfully complete 15 credits in courses dealing
with the European Union as part of their EES program are
qualified to receive a Certificate in European Union Studies.
The Certificate is offered by the American
Consortium of European Union Studies (ACES), a Washington-area
consortium of institutions consisting of GW, Georgetown
University, George Mason University, American University
and the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies of
the Johns Hopkins University. With the advice of the Program
Director, students may take courses on the European Union
at any of these institutions and count them as part of their
40-credit EES program at the Elliott School. Only courses
specifically designated by ACES as courses on the European
Union will count toward the Certificate. (Consult the Program
Director or the ACES website for a listing of courses.)
- Joint Degree Programs. Students in European
and Eurasian Studies have the option of combining the M.A.
degree from the Elliott School in International Affairs
with the Master of Business Administration degree from the
School of Business and Public Management, the Juris Doctor
degree from the Law School, or the Master in Public Health
degree from the School of Public Health and Health Services.
Consult the Program Director or the Elliott School student
advisor for details.
- Graduate Certificates. During their course
of studies for the M.A. degree in European and Eurasian
Studies, or after obtaining the degree, students may obtain
a Graduate Certificate in Asian studies or Latin American
studies, or in a topical specialty such as international
trade policy, international science and technology policy,
international security policy, U.S. foreign policy or political
psychology. Consult the Program Director or the Elliott
School Graduate Admissions Office for details.
