Admission to the Program in European Cultural Studies
Students from many of Princeton’s established departments choose to take a certificate in European Cultural Studies. The classes in this program involve interdisciplinary approaches to the interpretation of the products of European culture, from novels and paintings to cityscapes and land-use patterns. Students should take either the Humanistic Studies 216-219 sequence, or ECS/EPS 301 or 302. Though these courses are usually viewed as prerequisites, they can be taken in the junior or senior year.
Students normally apply to join the program by the fall of their junior year. Early concentrators, late-comers, and students with further questions about the certificate are urged to contact Eileen Reeves, the Director, for additional information.
