Each year, the Program in European Cultural Studies sponsors at least one excursion to a cultural event in New York City.
Participation in an ECS excursion is a requirement for completion of the ECS certificate, and can be used towards the excursion requirement for the Minor in European Studies. Students are encouraged to fulfill the requirement during the junior year.
