Overview
The Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies MA program from University of Texas at Austin offers the opportunity to create an individually tailored program.
This region of the world covers over one-sixth of the globe and comprises countries, which differ enormously in language, ethnicity, religion, culture, political history and economic development. Since the mid-1980s, the process of reform, collapse and reconstruction in the region has led to a heightened interest in the area and the need for serious and scholarly understanding of the region. It is the mission of the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies to facilitate such understanding.
Graduates with Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies from University of Texas at Austin will:
- gain a broad background in the Russian, East European and Eurasian area.
- have an extensive understanding of the country or countries of specialization, including a working knowledge of one of the region's languages.
