Certificate in European Union Studies (CEUS)
The Certificate in European Union Studies (CEUS) allows CU Boulder undergraduates in a range of social science and humanities programs to gain skills and understanding around the European Union (EU). The CEUS documents a student’s expertise in European Union Studies, opening opportunities for further study, internships and careers in public, private, or nonprofit sectors.
CEUS is housed in the International Affairs Program (IAFS) in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the certificate curriculum is intentionally interdisciplinary. Students admitted into the program will complete coursework with EU content going beyond what they can obtain by completing any single major. They will also participate in co-curricular activities to augment their understanding of the development, focus, functioning and future of the EU. Upon completion of this program, students will have a demonstrated understanding of the European Union; its politics, history, institutions, economics, policies, member states, relations with the US, role in the world, and much more.
Application Eligibility: Students from related social science and humanities majors – including International Affairs, Political Science, History, Geography, Sociology, Women and Gender Studies, Economics, and European languages – are eligible to apply, provided they have completed at least 30 hours of coursework with an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher, and have completed at least six hours of coursework from the program requirements (below), also with a grade point average of 3.0 or better.
