Certificate Program

The Polish and Central European Certificate Program provides students with an opportunity to develop an interdisciplinary knowledge about Poland and Central Europe. Interested students should put together a list of 10 courses (or 40 credit hours) with the following departmental distribution:

6 courses from the Primary list, of which:

• 4 must be in social sciences (political science, economics, or history)
• 2 must be in languages (any western Slavic language, Romanian, Hungarian, or Yiddish) or cultures (anthropology, art, film studies, music, philosophy, theater, or religion)
• 4 additional courses from either the Primary or Secondary list.

Substitutes for these courses may be approved by the PCE Studies director. Up to two substitute courses may be foreign language courses above the 105 level.

Courses transferred from another college must be approved by the PCE Studies director.

No primary course may be taken satisfactory/fail, and no more than one secondary course may be taken satisfactory/fail.

Students must earn an overall grade-point average of at least 2.0 in courses submitted for the certificate. Upon graduation, students successfully completing the PCE Studies program will receive a Certificate in Polish and Central European Studies.
