Overview
Key facts
The Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies program offered at Stanford University structure allows students the flexibility to pursue their own academic interests while providing intellectual cohesion through a curriculum that addresses historical and contemporary processes of change in the Russian Federation, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
The community of faculty and students at CREEES is large, diverse, and committed to excellence in teaching and research. The department has a strong program of language training in Russian and other area languages. Classes are generally small in size, and our students receive close personal attention.

A full calendar of lectures, symposia, and other extracurricular programs also complements classroom instruction.
