[Jennifer Tishler]

Dear Colleagues:

The Center for Russia, East Europe, and Central Asia (CREECA) invites 
applications for its Master of Arts program in Russian, East European, 
and Central Asian Studies for fall 2008. Our two-year program provides 
interdisciplinary area studies training for students interested in the 
cultural, economic, social, and historical factors that have shaped the 
development of societies in Russia, East Europe, and Central Asia. 
Combining language study, broad interdisciplinary training, and 
knowledge of the methodological approaches in a given academic social 
science or humanities discipline, our program is ideal for students 
interested in pursuing professional careers in business, journalism, and 
law and for students planning further graduate study. Our students 
benefit from a varied program of lectures, conferences, and seminars 
with national and international experts. The members of our faculty are 
outstanding teachers and scholars. Every year applicants to our program 
are competitive for U.S. Department of Education Foreign Language and 
Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships. US citizens and permanent residents are 
eligible to apply for the FLAS; more information about the application 
may be found here:

our Master of Arts program. Prospective students should visit our Web 
site to learn more about the program and to see the application
