graduate programs at UIC

[Julia Vaingurt]

The Department of Slavic and Baltic Languages and Literatures at the University of Illinois at 
Chicago is pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for our M.A. and Ph.D. 
programs in Russian, Polish, Lithuanian, and Serbian for the academic year 2007-08. One of our 
Department’s unique strengths is in offering a wide array of courses in Slavic languages and 
cultures.  In addition to our degree programs, we also teach Czech and Ukrainian.  

Doctoral candidates choose to specialize either in linguistics or in literature, with an option to 
pursue a field of secondary expertise. Our eleven-member faculty has research interests in film, 
theater, translation, comparative and historical linguistics, medieval studies, literary theory, 
cultural studies, postmodernism, and intellectual history.  The Department offers 
interdepartmental concentrations in Gender and Women's Studies. We also maintain close ties with 
regional specialists in the Departments of History and Art History. 

Chicago is an exciting and vibrant city, with rich cultural resources. Home to the largest 
concentration of East Europeans outside Eastern Europe, it is particularly appealing to the Slavist.

Applicants who wish to be considered for financial aid must submit their application materials by 
January 1, 2007.   The general deadline for applications to the Graduate College is May 15, 2007. 
We regard teaching as an indispensable part of professional training, and robust enrollments in 
our undergraduate courses afford graduate students ample opportunity for teaching 
assistantships.  

We invite interested students to visit our website at <www.uic.edu/depts/slav> and to contact us 
at <slavbalt at uic.edu> or (312) 996-4412.
