U-SES-AB - Slavic and Eurasian Studies (AB)

To earn a major in Slavic and Eurasian studies, students must complete ten courses, eight of which must be at the 200 level or above. Required courses are one approved introductory course to the major (including, but not restricted to, Russian 350, Russian 370, Slavic and Eurasian Studies 373S, Slavic and Eurasian Studies 386S); one capstone seminar (Slavic and Eurasian Studies 423S) in their junior or senior year, which includes a significant research component; four language courses above the 102 level for Polish or four language courses above the 203-204 level for Russian; and four content (elective) courses on Slavic and Eurasian studies with no more than two of these on an exclusively Slavic topic. All 300-level and above courses with the designators Polish and Turkish may count toward the major. The Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies also offers Romanian on a regular basis. These languages can be counted as fulfilling the language requirement with prior approval from the director of undergraduate studies. To determine if specific courses meet requirements for the major, students should consult with the director of undergraduate studies in the Slavic and Eurasian studies department.

Students are encouraged to study abroad in a country that is related to the geographical area covered by the major.
