MA in REECAS at University of Wisconsin

[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 2010. 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, Eastern and Central Europe, and 
Central Eurasia. 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; more information about the application 
may be found here:
http://www.intl-institute.wisc.edu/fellow/

While US citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply for the 
FLAS, we regret that funding opportunities for international students 
are extremely limited in our program. Non-US citizens are encouraged to
consult the Graduate School Web site for information on costs and 
funding information for international students:

Please share this information with students who might be interested in 
our Master of Arts program. Prospective students should visit our Web 
site to learn more about the program and to see the application 
requirements. The application is available as a fillable form, in 
Portable Document Format (PDF). The deadline to apply is January 4, 2010 
(postmarked):

I will be happy to answer any questions you or your students might have 
about our program. Please address questions to jtishler at creeca.wisc.edu.

With best wishes to all,
Jennifer
