The Master’s Degree Program at Georgetown University’s Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies (CERES) brings together scholars, practitioners and students working on contemporary and historical issues affecting Eurasia and beyond. Through multidisciplinary coursework on the politics, history, language(s) and culture(s) of the region, the CERES MA program educates professionals prepared to engage with global challenges and supports innovative research on current issues facing the region.
CERES students join a close-knit community passionate about the region. In consultation with faculty and staff, CERES students design a course of study that allows them to pursue their own goals and interests while deepening their knowledge of the region’s complexity. As part of the program, students take advanced coursework in a language of the region. They also may begin study of an additional language of the region at no additional cost through the University’s Language Scholarship Program.
