University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Master of Arts in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

The Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center (REEEC) at the University 
of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, invites applications for its Master of Arts 
program in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies for fall 2008. Our 
two-year program is designed for students preparing for further academic 
study in a particular discipline as well as for students who are preparing 
for careers in government, business, the media, international law, private 
foundations, or cultural exchange programs. The program provides broad 
exposure to the history, cultures, societies, and politics of the region as 
well as to the variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to 
its study. For individuals planning non-academic careers, such study is 
essential in preparing to respond to the growing opportunities and 
challenges presented by this region. For students planning academic 
careers, the program provides wide and multifaceted knowledge of the region 
and valuable experience in interdisciplinary study and interpretation.

Our students benefit from a varied program of lectures, conferences, and 
seminars with national and international experts. The University Library 
boasts one of the largest Slavic and East European collections in the 
country. Our outstanding faculty cover more than twenty fields from 
anthropology and art history to urban and regional planning, enabling 
students to craft an individualized degree program.

Applicants who are U.S. citizens and permanent residents are competitive 
for U.S. Department of Education Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) 
fellowships not only in REEEC, but also in the EU Center, the Center for 
Global Studies, and the Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies.
