European Union Certificate Program

The Department of Government & Sociology coordinates the University's participation in the European Union Certificate Program. The program, sponsored by the University System of Georgia European Council, is open to all majors. Those interested in careers in international affairs and international business should find the program especially useful. Students in the program will take Introduction to the European Union (POLS 4505), four other courses from various social science, humanities/fine arts, business/economics, and natural/health sciences disciplines, and a capstone seminar. Some of the courses are offered jointly with other University System institutions and with the University of Munich in Germany. Additional information is available in the department office and in the International Education Center.
