NYU M.A. in Russian Studies

[Eliot Borenstein]

The Department of Russian & Slavic Studies at New York University would like to invite qualified students to apply to our INTERDISCIPLINARY M.A. IN RUSSIAN STUDIES. 

CURRICULUM: Master’s students benefit not only from the well-developed curriculum offered by the Department of Russian & Slavic Studies, but also from a wide range of Russia-related courses originating in departments across NYU. Thus in addition to our particular strengths in literature, history, and film, the course of study can encompass a wide variety of specializations, from gender studies to politics, from anthropology to music, et cetera. 

Thanks to a focus on interdisciplinary/comparative methodologies and an active faculty devoted both to scholarship and to teaching/advising, the program can serve as excellent preparation for graduate study at the Ph.D. level. While our students regularly continue on to Ph.D. programs, the curriculum also provides a thorough grounding in the Russia field for terminal M.A. students who want to pursue a career in this area.

FUNDING: Qualified applicants to the M.A. program will be considered for the JKW Fellowship in Russian & Slavic Studies, a generous award designed especially to support study at the Master’s level.

JORDAN FAMILY CENTER FOR THE ADVANCED STUDY OF RUSSIA: All students and scholars of Russia at NYU benefit from the vibrant intellectual life of the Jordan Center. By sponsoring a wide range of lectures, conferences, colloquia, and public events, the Center provides a gathering point for those interested in Russia both across NYU and beyond the university.
