We in the Department of Central, Eastern and Northern European Studies (CENES) inspire students to understand Europe’s complex and diverse past and present — and to participate in shaping its future role in the world.
From Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) to Bosnia, from Siberia to Luxembourg, CENES welcomes students into the languages, literatures, cultures, and societies of more than 34 countries — and into the vibrant frontiers between and beyond them.
CENES is a very diverse department, offering a great variety of courses, which have allowed me to approach European studies through many different perspectives. The professors are so knowledgeable and passionate about the classes they’re teaching, which has really enriched my experience.
