Overview

A required set of courses (in advanced language, theory and methodology, and history) provides the core of foundational knowledge in the discipline.

M.A. students are then free to choose literature courses offered by the Slavic department at both the 500- and the 400-levels, plus courses of related interest that are offered by other departments at UIUC, such as the Program in Comparative and World Literature , the History Department , the English Department , and the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center , among others.

Key Features

The Slavic Languages and Literatures degree program at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign is designed for students who wish to continue to the Ph.D. in Slavic; however, the program’s concentration on Russian language, literature, and culture makes it possible for students to pursue an M.A. degree only.

Other concentrations and individualized programs may be arranged in consultation with the Graduate Advisor and relevant faculty.

General requirements

The Graduate College considers for admission only those applicants who hold, or will be granted at the end of the current academic year, a baccalaureate, M.A., or equivalent degree comparable to that granted by the University of Illinois, and whose admission average is at least 3.0 (A=4.0).

Admission averages are computed from the last sixty hours of undergraduate work and any graduate work completed.

GRE scores are not required for admission to the PhD, but are highly recommended for all new students who would like to be considered for fellowship support.

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores are required for new applicants whose native language is not English (please see the Graduate College handbook for exemptions.) After enrolling, students may also be required to take additional English language courses in the Division of English as an International Language.
