Distance Learning

The Center runs a program for distance learning in EU studies. The University of North Carolina Video Consortium in EU Studies is a collaborative project that uses technology to tap into faculty expertise at three state universities and bring it to the benefit of a wider student audience. The project is conducted by the Center for European Studies/EU Center of Excellence, and involves students and faculty at UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University (Raleigh) and UNC-Charlotte.  A new series of courses began in Fall 2006 and will continue through Spring 2010.
