The Designated Emphasis (D.E.) in European Studies provides curricular and research resources for graduate students who want to concentrate on European Studies within their respective disciplines and have their work formally recognized in their degree designation. Launched in 2016 and administered by the Graduate Group in European Studies, in cooperation with the Institute of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ISEEES), the D.E. helps advance Berkeley’s position as one of the nation’s leading centers of European Studies, and facilitates graduate research in and cooperation with other European universities.
