Master of Arts in Russian and East European Studies - Social Science

Russian and East European Studies is an interdepartmental program leading to the degree of Master of Arts (MA) or Master of Science (MS). The program is designed to give students a well-rounded understanding of the language, culture, history, and contemporary political and economic conditions in Russia andor Eastern Europe. The approach is broad, interdisciplinary, multinational, and comparative. Courses are offered in the areas of political science, economics, public administration, geography, history, language, literature, religion, philosophy, urban and regional planning, and art history. Many students in the program anticipate careers in government, business, international organizations, journalism, or teaching. Other students use the program as a stepping stone into more specialized doctoral programs by developing a language and area competence and exposure to graduate coursework prior to entering a PhD program in one of the disciplines represented by the participating Russian and East European Studies faculty.
