There are many reasons why students may wish to
sample courses in Russian, Polish, and Czech
languages, literatures and cultures, offered through
the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures.
Considering a new major or minor? Some courses in
History, Art History, Political Science, Economics,
Theater, Film, and Humanities may be counted
towards a major or minor in Russian and East
European Studies.
Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Bulgakov: Russia’s
great writers explore the philosophical, political, and
psychological issues that have shaped the modern
world. Politics and the humanities go hand in hand in
Eastern European culture: Explore politics and history
through the film, music, art and popular culture of
Russia, Poland and the Czech Republic.
Russia is a major player in global and US politics;
learning Russian can be an asset to your career!
Slavic majors have gone on to careers in the State
Department, Department of Defense, Department of
the Treasury, economics, international relations, law,
journalism, medicine, and other fields.
Students also have been accepted into top programs
at Yale, Harvard, University of Michigan, Berkeley,
Toronto, University of Virginia, University of London,
and other institutions. More than 12 of our students
have won Fulbrights to Poland and Russia!
In 2016, a Wall Street Journal article noted that
among recent graduates, area studies and language
studies majors posted the largest salary gains!
