Slavic, Eurasian and East European Studies

The Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies of the Duke University offers graduate study leading to the MA degree in Slavic, Eurasian and East European Studies. Students may concentrate in Russian literature and culture, Slavic linguistics or Eurasian studies.
 
Beyond the strong commitment to increasing the language proficiency of its students and giving them solid training in research, the faculty of the department are also preparing students in a variety of adjacent fields, such as area and cultural studies, gender studies, history, media and film, and aspects of comparative literature, theory, and translation.
 
The department is actively engaged in making Russia and Russian language a practical experience. The department encourages its graduate students to apply for study and jobs and/or internships in Russia through its exchanges with Russian universities and other institutions.

A completed application includes: official transcripts from all postsecondary institutions attended, three letters of recommendation, official scores on the General GRE test and a nonrefundable application fee. The submission of a writing sample is required and should be sent directly to the Director of Graduate Studies (see the contact below).
