Degree Programs

REEI offers a Master of Arts program in Russian and East European Studies and four dual degree programs with the School of Business, the School of Library and Information Science, and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs. The M.A., M.A./M.B.A., M.A./M.I.S., M.A./M.L.S., and the M.A./M.P.A. programs give students a broad understanding of the geographical area and its peoples, while allowing them the opportunity to examine in depth the aspect of Russian and East European studies that most interests them. 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 and information science, political science, literature, public and environmental 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.

Master of Arts Degree

The REEI master’s degree program is intended to prepare students as area specialists for work in nonacademic careers in government and in such private-sector fields as research, aid, or 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.

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, 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 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 area of concentration. The concentration can be disciplinary, e.g. comparative communist and post-communist politics, or business and economics; or it can be geographic, e.g., East Central Europe or Russia; and (4) 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 Interdisciplinary Colloquium in Russian and East European Studies (R601) paper often becomes the basis of the M.A. essay. The essay must be interdisciplinary in focus and use considerable research in the language of concentration. Three REEI faculty members must evaluate the essay, approve its content, 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 or tabular material).

Language Requirement
Successful completion of the Russian and East European Oral Proficiency Examination requires a knowledge of Russian at intermediate-high level or knowledge of another area language at the second-year level. Language courses do not count toward the REEI degree requirements, but may be necessary to ensure proficiency.

The REEI Oral Proficiency Examination in Russian takes approximately 45 minutes and requires that the student demonstrate an intermediate-high level of proficiency by: (1) participating in a tape-recorded oral interview with a certified oral proficiency tester (10-25 minutes); and (2) orally translating a passage from an article (150 words) into English. For the translation section of the exam, the student will be given 15 minutes to prepare the passage and may use a dictionary.

The REEI Oral Proficiency Examination in other area languages takes approximately 30 minutes and requires that the student demonstrate second-year (intermediate) proficiency by (1) carrying on a conversation on everyday topics in the language; (2) presenting a brief talk (five minutes) on a subject in the student’s field and answering questions on the subject matter presented; and (3) orally translating a passage from an article (75 words) into English. For the translation section of the exam, the student will be given 15 minutes to prepare the passage and may use a dictionary.
