Jean Monnet Courses

The Jean Monnet Chair offers two new graduate courses in European Union policy making:

European Union Policy and the Regions of Europe in Comparative Perspective
European Union Policy and the Borderlands of Europe in Comparative Perspective.

For the School of Public Administration, these two new graduate courses fill a gap in introducing students to policy processes of European integration in comparative perspectives. They are offered in class and online simultaneously – using new technologies of information/communication, hence attracting on campus and online students, and reaching professionals that are also part-time MPA students, and new MA EUS students.
