European Studies 362, taken near the end of the program, is fashioned to suit the student's individual needs and interests. It includes the writing of a substantial research paper, which must be interdisciplinary in theme, perspective, or methodology. Two readers from different disciplines supervise and judge the paper. Specifically requiring European Studies 305 will ensure that students get at least one course that broadly examines Europe. Reducing the number of elective courses from five to four will make European studies consistent with other University of Texas concentrations by requiring a total of six European studies courses for a total of eighteen semester hours.
