The Center for European Studies (CES), housed within the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences (CLAS) at the University of Florida (UF), is a Title VI National Resource Center funded in part by the US Department of Education. The CES is funded by the US Department of Education, with substantial additional support from the Commission of the European Union as well as the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, the Division of Research and Graduate Programs and the Office of the Provost of the University of Florida.The CES was created in August 2003 and is currently one of just ten Europe/West Europe Title VI National Resource Centers in the country. In August 2010 the Title VI status of the CES was renewed and it was granted "comprehensive" status including significant Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) resources for graduate student funding through the FLAS fellowship program.
