Choosing a Program
Doctoral programs
The department offers sequential programs (M.A./M.Phil./Ph.D.) for
doctoral degrees in Russian Literature and in Polish Literature. M.A. programs in
Czech, South Slavic, and Ukrainian Literatures are also
offered, with the option of continuing to the M.Phil./Ph.D.
through the Center for Comparative Literature and Society. Students who complete the M.A. in Russian or Polish
Literature may also choose to do their M.Phil./Ph.D. work in
Comparative Literature.
M.A. programs
The M.A. programs in Russian, Czech, Polish,
South Slavic, and Ukrainian Literatures are open to qualified applicants who do
not intend to continue beyond the Master’s degree. The department also
offers free-standing M.A. degree programs in Russian Translation and in Slavic
Cultures, which are non-sequential programs of study that do not lead
to a doctorate.
Linguistics
The department provides a number of courses in
Slavic linguistics, although it does not offer degrees in this field.
All doctoral students in Russian literature receive rigorous training
in linguistics; doctoral students may also choose Slavic linguistics as
their minor field.
