The Center for European Studies* (CES) housed within the College of Liberal Arts and 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 one of just eleven European or Western European Title VI Centers in the country. The goal of these centers as established by the US Department of Education is to assist in the development of area and language skills among the country's best students through fostering rich academic and cultural environments including broad language and areas studies courses, degree options and study abroad opportunities.

Title VI Centers are funded by the Department of Education in three-year renewable cycles and must re-apply each cycle to maintain funding and official status as a Title VI Center. The University has already been home to Title VI centers in Latin American Studies and African Studies and this year was fortunate to receive two new Centers, the CES as well as the new Trans-global Studies Center. The University of Florida was the only university to receive two new centers this grant cycle and is now one of only 19 universities across the country to house four or more Title VI centers.

*In accordance with the primary goals of the Title VI program as defined by the US Department of Education the CES can only fund activities related directly to contemporary Europe. For the purposes of the Title VI program and the current mandate of the CES "Europe" is defined as all Western European countries and all formally accepted European Union accession and applicant countries and the "contemporary" periods dates from the 20th century. Topics focused on other regions/countries or earlier time periods can only be funded if the relevance for some aspect of "contemporary Europe" is an explicit and central theme.
