Dear Colleagues:

Please circulate this to potentially interested undergraduates, 
especially those with a strong background in Russian language.

Many thanks!

The Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard invites 
applicants to its Master's Degree Program in Regional Studies: 
Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia (REECA).

This interdisciplinary program is based on the premise that when 
studying society and culture, the integration of the various academic 
disciplines allows insights unobtainable within the confines of a 
single discipline.  The program seeks to produce area specialists 
with a sound knowledge of the Russian language and a broad background 
in the history, literature, government, and economics of Russia and 
other countries of the region.  We also strongly encourage the study 
of non-Russian regional languages.

The program offers preparation for careers in public service, 
business, journalism, and for more advanced academic programs.  Each 
student's career goals, as well as previous training, experience, and 
academic qualifications, are taken into account in planning his or 
her course of study.  A limited enrollment in the program facilitates 
individual guidance and personal attention.  Some financial aid is 
available in the form of Harvard grants as well as Foreign Language 
and Area Studies fellowships (pending renewal of funding from the 
Department of Education).

The application deadline for the 2006 entering class is January 2, 
2006.  More information is available at 
http://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/student_programs/masters.html. 
Interested students should contact Donna Griesenbeck at 
griesenb at fas.harvard.edu with any questions.

Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has an active 
recruitment program which seeks out potential applicants from 
underrepresented minority groups.
