MA Program in Slavic at Florida State University

The Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics at Florida State 
University has expanded its faculty and interdisciplinary MA 
curriculum in Slavic to include emphases in (1) Russian and South 
Slavic cultural studies, literature, and critical theory, and (2) 
Russian language pedagogy and Second Language Acquisition.

Our MA program emphasizes cultural and literary studies and SLA 
methodologies within a core curriculum that includes comprehensive 
coursework in nineteenth- and twentieth-century and contemporary 
Russian literature.

Students may also take interdisciplinary graduate seminars such as 
Introduction to Critical Theory and Queer Theory while working with 
faculty in Arabic, East Asian, French, German, Italian or Spanish to 
gain expertise in comparative literary and cultural studies. Our 
graduate instructor TAs teach courses ranging from Russian language 
to Multicultural Cinema.

Our MA students have been accepted to leading PhD programs in Slavic, 
English, Education, and Linguistics in North America. With their 
strong linguistic and cultural proficiency, our graduates have gone 
on to careers and internships with the US State Department, 
Department of Defense, Defense Language Institute (Monterey), human 
rights organizations and private firms.
