MA & PhD Studies in Slavics at the University of Kansas

[Maria Carlson]

Dear Colleagues,

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 choose to focus on Russian, 
Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian,or Polish languages and cultures.

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), under the direction and close mentorship of our faculty.

The KU SLL graduate programs prepare students for a variety of 
professional positions. While most KU SLL PhDs choose to remain 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, and professional education and research 
support. Mentorship for professional success, regardless of career path, 
is a high priority for our graduate faculty.
