With shorter programs and more closely linked courses, these certificates help students take up a new trade or bolster their portfolio.

Some possible benefits from taking an undergraduate certificate in European studies include a more developed global perspective and an understanding of modern-day Europe and its relationship with the rest of the world. Students also often strengthen their interpersonal skills by directly engaging with another culture, as well as learning a new language, all of which are valuable professional skills.
