  <abstract>&lt;p&gt;Europe is changing profoundly in a wide variety of ways. The New Europe interdisciplinary minor includes a range of courses and study abroad options that explore current developments in the Old Continent. It complements most undergraduate majors and will appeal to anyone with an interest in European history, politics, economics, society, and languages. Apart from its intellectual benefits, the New Europe minor should enhance students&amp;rsquo; employment prospects in an increasingly interdependent global economy, especially one in which Europe is a major player.&lt;/p&gt;</abstract>
