Reopened MA/PhD Programs at UIC

[Colleen McQuillen]

Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to inform you about our newly reopened graduate programs
in Polish and Russian Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago
and we would like to ask you to share the information about graduate
studies at UIC with qualified students in your program.

The Department of Slavic and Baltic Languages and Literatures at UIC
welcomes applications to its MA and PhD programs in Polish or Russian
culture and literature for Fall 2012. Applications are due April 15.

Our graduate program is flexibly designed both for students who plan
to use it as a springboard for a variety of careers and for students
whose ultimate goal is academic. Our graduate faculty is recognized
for its dedication to research and teaching. Our program is
distinguished by a focus on modern culture and literature in both
Polish and Russian. Students may also pursue interdepartmental
concentrations in Central and Eastern European Studies, Gender and
Women’s Studies, Jewish Studies and Second Language Teaching. The
Slavic and Baltic Department at UIC offers competitive support for
graduate students in the form of fellowships, teaching and research
assistantships, and tuition and fee waivers. A newly thriving Polish
Studies Program at UIC, co-organized by The Hejna Family Chair in
Polish Language and Literature, held by the Head of Department (Michal
Markowski), and The Hejna Family Chair in the History of Poland,
offers new academic and financial opportunities for students
interested in contemporary Polish culture, including scholarships and
our annual summer program in Krakow.

UIC is a Research I university that offers a high-quality education to
a diverse, urban population. Located close to the downtown Loop, our
campus offers a wonderful opportunity to live and study in Chicago's
vibrant community.

Should there be any questions about our department or the application
process, please do not hesitate to contact Michal Markowski at
markowsk at uic.edu, or our graduate program administrator, Ms. Rocio
Garcia at mexotic at uic.edu. General information can be found on our
departmental website and the website of the UIC Graduate College.

On behalf of the UIC Slavic and Baltic Department,
Colleen McQuillen
