The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures offers the degrees a Master of Arts (as a degree leading to the Doctor of Philosophy) and a Doctor of Philosophy, with an area of concentration in Russian literature and culture, including cinema. Students may combine work for the MA and PhD degrees with a program of regional specialization leading to a certificate in Russian and East European Studies; Cultural Studies; Film Studies; Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies; Jewish Studies; and others.
Eligible Slavic PhD students may apply, before taking the Slavic PhD comprehensive examinations, to transfer to Pitt’s Interdisciplinary Film Studies PhD (with a concentration in Slavic), thereby working towards a single PhD in two disciplines. For information on the Interdisciplinary Film Studies PhD, see http://www.english.pitt.edu/graduate/phd-film-studies.
