Leadership, Ethics, and Social Action
Academic Advising and Program Coordinator
Method
Community engagement contributes to all aspects of the university's mission. As a pedagogical method, service learning furthers students' critical thinking, improves their mastery of academic material, and examines the relationship between theory and practice. It also strengthens students' sense of social and ethical responsibility, deepens their understanding of the context of social issues, and encourages them to participate in communities beyond campus. Service learning also can make faculty and student research more rigorous, as well as more responsive to public concerns. Finally, service learning reinvigorates the university's commitment to using its resources for the public good. Reflection on the experience of community service is a crucial element of this pedagogy.
Important Advising Notes: Students should contact the advisor for the program early in their degree program to complete the minor application by spring of the sophomore year, and to receive information about course availability and sequencing, as well as program announcements and opportunities. Call (812) 855-6308 to make an appointment or e-mail lesa@indiana.edu to inquire.
It is advisable to complete the first three requirements in the first and second year of the undergraduate program.
To obtain departmental consent to participate in the Capstone Seminar in the fall semester, students are expected to complete the other requirements listed below (1-4) before undertaking a capstone project. To prepare to submit a project proposal for the Capstone Seminar, it is strongly recommended that students take the 1 credit LESA L401 seminar in the spring semester before the capstone. Students should expect the capstone process to involve at least a one-year time commitment (spring of the junior year and fall of the senior year). Contact the advisor for more information.

Introduction
West European Studies, a center in the College of Arts and Sciences, offers interdisciplinary programs that combine courses in the social sciences, humanities, and languages to give students a broad understanding of the countries of Western Europe and the European Union. The center offers two undergraduate minors: the West European studies minor and the European Union minor.
Both minors combine core courses with elective courses from other departments and schools.
Some courses to fulfill the minors are listed under "West European Studies"; others are offered through other departments. Students may earn both minors, but the minors may not be completed with the same courses. Students must meet with the West European Studies academic advisor to apply for the minors and to work out the course plan.
Requirements for the West European studies minor are listed in the 2004-06 College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin.
Return to West European Studies
On May 1, 2004, the European Union admitted 10 new members; it now spans from Western Europe to the Baltic Region, Eastern and Central Europe, and to Cyprus. The new Europe manifests itself in different ways—through integrated economic markets, Europe-wide elections, evolving political institutions, and emerging European identity. The European Union minor seeks to address these issues by equipping students with the analytical tools to deal with the "making of the European Union."
Requirements include 18 credit hours of course work to be distributed as follows, plus a language requirement. At least 9 credit hours must be at the 300- or 400- level. Return to West European Studies
W325 European Issues in Foreign Language (1-3 cr.) Seminar taught in a foreign language in conjunction with a subject course on a topic related to Western Europe. Topics and language alternate every semester.
