Master of Arts and Juris Doctorate with Maurer School of Law
The Russian and East European Institute master’s program gives students a broad understanding of the geographical area and its peoples while providing the opportunity to examine in depth the aspect of Russian and East European studies that most interests them. The dual degrees add high-level professional training. Students may focus on the study of Russia, another country or region of the former Soviet Union, or East Central or Southeastern Europe. Within their chosen geographic area, students may concentrate on the study of a particular discipline (business, history, library science, information science, political science, literature, public affairs, or some other) while also taking courses outside of that discipline. REEI also offers a Graduate Certificate Program and a Ph.D. Minor Program. For information on the History M.A. in Russian and East European History, see the History Department.
Master of Arts Degree
The REEI master’s degree program is intended to prepare area specialists for nonacademic careers in government and private-sector fields such as research and foreign aid, or in exchange organizations, journalism, and business. Students may also choose to follow the REEI degree with advanced graduate studies. The program normally takes two years to complete. Its aim is to provide a broad interdisciplinary introduction to the Russian and East European area, with language competency appropriate for professional research. REEI also offers a Mid-Career Professional Track M.A. degree in Russian and East European area studies, which aims to add to and refine the area expertise professional and commissioned officers have acquired through their career.
Admission Requirements
Bachelor’s degree with evidence of superior ability and completion of the Graduate Record Examination. Students who intend to specialize in East Central, European, Southeast European, or Central Asian studies do not need previous study in languages of those areas for admission. For work in Russian area studies, proficiency in Russian language equivalent to two years of college study is required.
Course Requirements
Thirty (30) credit hours of graduate course work to be distributed as follows: (1) R600 Proseminar in Russian and East European Area Studies [3 credits] to be taken the first fall semester of enrollment; (2) four courses [3 credits each] from area studies offerings, one each from the social science group, historical/geographical group, sociocultural group, and literature group; (3) four courses [3 credits each] in the area of concentration. The concentration can be disciplinary (e.g., comparative politics, or business and economics); or it can be geographic (e.g., East Central Europe or Russia); and (4) REEI R601 Interdisciplinary Colloquium in Russian and East European Studies [3 credits]. All course requirements must be completed with an average grade of B or above.
M.A. Essay and Interdisciplinary Oral Examination
The paper by a student in the Interdisciplinary Colloquium in Russian and East European Studies (R601) usually becomes the M.A. essay. The essay must be interdisciplinary in focus and use research in the language of concentration as a defining element. In other words, the foreign language sources must form part of the foundation on which the argument of the essay rests. Three REEI faculty members evaluate the essay and administer an oral examination that explores the interdisciplinary implications of the essay within the context of the student’s graduate course work. The essay should not exceed 13,000 words in length (not counting footnotes/endnotes, bibliography, or tabular material).
Language Requirement
Students are expected to demonstrate at least intermediate oral competency in an approved area language through oral examination. Proficiency is measured through a conversational exam on a variety of topics, including but not limited to home, school, history, current events, and a student's research. Assessment of proficiency demonstrate the ability to handle successfully uncomplicated tasks and social situations requiring an exchange of basic information related to their work, school, recreation, particular interests, and areas of competence. Reading proficiency is demonstrated by the required use of area language source materials for students' MA Essay. To achieve this, students ordinarily continue their language training while at IU. For more information on the exam, please contact the REEI Advisor.
An approved area language is any language that is used with regularity in the geographic region covered by REEI. These include, but are not limited to: Bosnian, Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Finnish, Greek (Modern), Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian, and Yiddish. For more information, please contact an REEI Advisor.
Language hours do not count towards the necessary credit hours for an REEI MA degree unless otherwise stated in the degree plan information. Up to 6 hours of languages coursework is approved for use towards the Mid-Career Professional Subplan degree plan.

One of these courses will be R601 Colloquium in Russian and East European Area Studies; and (4) two language courses, relevant to the student's concentration, taken at the graduate level [up to 6 credits].
All course requirements must be completed with an average grade of B or above.
