University of Kansas MA and PhD Programs in Slavic Langs & Lits

[Maria Carlson]

The Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures at the University of 
Kansas invites applications for its MA and PhD Programs.

At the MA level, KU SLL offers a traditional curriculum that provides 
students with foundational knowledge (major literary periods and genres, 
structure and function of Slavic languages, disciplinary methodologies, 
control of writing and research strategies, and appropriate language 
capacity). Students may focus on Russian, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, or 
Polish language and culture.

At the PhD level, KU SLL encourages students to engage in deep study of 
their particular intellectual interests in the areas of Russian 
Literature, Slavic Linguistics, Language Pedagogy, or Culture 
(interdisciplinary studies, Russian intellectual history, Slavic 
folklore, cinema, Ukrainian studies), under the direction and close 
mentorship of our faculty.

The KU SLL MA and PhD graduate programs prepare students for a variety 
of professional positions. While most KU SLL PhDs have remained in the 
academic sector, others have gone on to careers in government service, 
NGOs, other public-sector positions, administration, high-school and 
community-college teaching, professional education and research support, 
and private enterprise. Mentorship for professional success, regardless 
of career path, is a high priority for our graduate faculty. KU SLL 
prides itself on promoting a collaborative, collegial, and inclusive 
departmental culture.
