M.A. programsThe 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.

M.A. programs
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.
Prospective applicants are encouraged, when feasible, to visit the Slavic Department. Please contact the Departmental Administrator (John Lacqua at [email protected]) if you would like to arrange a visit. When the review of applications begins, the Department may request phone interviews with applicants who have not visited.
