Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies Certificate

The Graduate Certificate in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies (REEES) may be earned in conjunction with most master’s and doctoral programs in the School of Arts and Sciences and a number of professional schools. In order to receive the Graduate Certificate in Advanced REEES, students must complete  area studies coursework and demonstrate proficiency in a language spoken in Russia, East Europe, and/or Eurasia. REEES is one of a select few National Resource Centers for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies funded by the US Department of Education. Our many areas of focus include subjects such as the transformations of post-communist societies, history, foreign policy and international relations, anthropology, music, film, and contemporary culture and literature’s. Recognizing that regional boundaries are constantly contested and redefined, our geographic scope includes but is not limited to Russia, Eastern and East Central Europe, the Baltic states, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Balkans, and Turkey.
