Graduate Study at the University of Arizona

The Russian and Slavic Languages Department at the University of Arizona at Tucson encourages students to apply for its MA program.  The Department offers a number of graduate level courses in Russian language including oral communication and stylistics, as well as advanced grammar.  Students may opt for one of several "tracks": Russian literature, Russian Linguistics, Slavic Studies (an interdisplinary track) and pedagogy.  Have a small student to teacher ratio in the classroom and the advantages of a small, congenial department.  Upon completion of the MA our students have been accepted into PhD programs such as UCLA, UChicago, USC, UNC Chapel Hill, U of Toronto, among others.  Students also have the option of completing a PhD at the University of Arizona in the Comparative Cultural and Literary Studies Program or the Second Language Acquisition and Teaching Program, both highly respected interdisplinary PhD programs that include faculty from the Russian and Slavic Department.  Our MA graduates have found placement in teaching positions at the high school and community college level, as well as in positions in the government and private sectors.  Some financial aid in the form of tuition waivers, fellowships, and teaching assistantships is available on a competitive basis.
