Description:

The Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures at The Ohio 
State University welcomes applicants to our M.A./Ph.D. programs in Slavic 
Linguistics and Slavic Literature, Film, and Cultural Studies, to begin in autumn 
2013. The Department prefers to admit students who have had at least three, and 
preferably more, years of Russian language, as well as related coursework. 
(Applicants who have had fewer than three years of Russian but who have 
intensive knowledge of other Slavic languages may also be considered; please 
contact the Graduate Studies Chair for further information.)

Prospective students applying to study linguistics should have a background in 
this area equivalent to an undergraduate major or minor in linguistics. Candidates 
for admission should give evidence of academic excellence and intellectual 
promise, as measured by criteria such as undergraduate grades, scores on the 
verbal and writing portion of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), evaluations 
in letters of recommendation, and the quality of the writing sample. We are 
particularly concerned with the candidate's undergraduate performance in Russian 
and/or other Slavic languages and in related subjects.

At Ohio State the faculty place strong emphasis on mentoring graduate students in 
their research, teaching, and professionalization. In addition to completing a set of 
basic requirements, students are also given the flexibility to develop their own 
specialized scholarly interests. They are provided with generous financial support, 
extensive teacher training, and many resources for professional development. 
Ph.D. graduates of the program are currently employed in tenure-track or lecturer 
positions at institutions throughout the U.S.  Branching out into ever more diverse 
fields, other graduates have chosen careers in editing, government, and translating 
for the European Union. 

The Department's graduate course offerings appeal to a broad range of intellectual 
interests.  For the Slavic Linguistics specialization, students can focus on 
Historical Linguistics, Synchronic Linguistics (with an emphasis on morphological 
theory) or Second Language Acquisition. We offer courses on the history and 
structure of the Russian language, West Slavic languages, South Slavic 
languages, and non-Slavic languages of the Balkans. An extensive range of 
courses on linguistic theory and research methods are available; these are taught 
by our faculty or through other departments on campus. 

The primary degree granted by the Department is the Ph.D. The Department does 
not normally admit students who want to pursue a terminal M.A. (i.e. students 
whose academic goals do not include a Ph.D.). Those interested in an 
interdisciplinary terminal M.A. in Slavic Studies should consider applying to the 
master's program at Ohio State's Center for Slavic and East European Studies, 
which prepares students for East European-related careers in government, the 
military, and the private sector. See http://slaviccenter.osu.edu

To learn more about the Department and how to apply see http://slavic.osu.edu/. 
Other inquiries should be addressed to Angela Brintlinger, Graduate Studies Chair, 
at brintlinger.3 at osu.edu. Applications received by January 7 will receive first 
priority. Only applications received by that date will be considered for Graduate 
School fellowships. For international students, the deadline for fellowship 
consideration is November 30.
