 A unique component of the EPS program is the
language requirement. In order to be admitted,
students need to demonstrate expertise in a
European language. This language expertise is used
in creating the senior thesis, which fulfills a major
program requirement.
In addition, EPS students are encouraged to study
abroad in a European country. Princeton University
has working relationships with multiple colleges and
universities across Europe.
