The West European Studies Program is devoted to the study of the area from Scandinavia in the north to Spain and Italy in the south, from Ireland in the west to Austria and Greece in the east. Its topical emphasis is international (i.e., inter-European) and interdisciplinary. In its teaching and research it favors comparative, interdisciplinary, and cross-national approaches.
While no Ph.D. degree is offered, doctoral students are invited to elect a Ph.D. minor in West European Studies.

Dual Degree Programs
Dual Degree: Master of Arts in West European Studies and Master of Business Administration
The Department of West European Studies and the Kelley School of Business jointly offer a three-year program that qualifies students for two master's degrees. Study for these two degrees can be combined for a total of 65 credit hours rather than the 84 credit hours required for the two degrees taken separately. Students take 24 credits in West European Studies under the course requirements for the M.A. (under the M.A./M.B.A. regulations), including W301, W401, W501 and the in-depth knowledge of one West European language; and 40.5 credit hours for the M.B.A. degree under the course requirements for the M.A./M.B.A., including the Foundations and the Functional Core through the M.B.A. program, L506, G509, and the Policy Component. A student must make application to and be accepted by the Kelley School of Business for study toward the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) and by the Department of West European Studies and the Graduate School for study toward the Master of Arts degree. The student must select a thesis advisory committee of at least three faculty members representing both WEST and the Kelley School of Business. It is strongly advised that the student spend the first of the three-year program completing requirements for the M.A. (WEST) part of the program, and that the second year be spent in the first year of the M.B.A. program, thus allowing the third year to focus on electives and the thesis. The Area Studies programs (EALC, REEI, WEST) require 30 hours of credit, 6 of which taken in the Kelley School of Business will count towards the M.A. degree. The other 24 hours of credit must be in accordance with the respective area studies program.
Area Certificate in West European Studies
Area certificates can be awarded only in conjunction with a degree program and cannot be awarded prior to the completion of all requirements for the degree.
