M.A. in Slavic Cultures
This program is designed for graduate students with a cultural interest in Russia and Eastern Europe and leads only to the free-standing M.A. degree. It does not lead toward a doctorate.
Program of study: The program is normally completed in two or three semesters. Part-time students must complete the program within four years.
Courses: Students are required to register for two Residence Units and to take at least 30 points (ten courses) at the graduate level (numbered 4000 and above), selected in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies. These may include relevant courses in departments other than Slavic, such as Art History and Archeology, History, Political Science, Human Rights, Economics, and Sociology. Up to six points (two courses) may be taken for R credit. Students writing an M.A. essay take a Directed Research course (for graded credit) with their essay advisor.
Other requirements: Students must either write an M.A. essay (approximately 40 pages) or take a comprehensive examination on their course work.
