Grad/PhD Programs, Russian, East European, & Eurasian Studies (New York University)

Deadlines: December 20, 2024; January 4, 2025

MA & PhD programs at New York University

The Department of Russian & Slavic Studies at New York University invites qualified students to apply to our interdisciplinary MA program and our PhD track, the Interdisciplinary Specialization in Russian (ISR). 

MA program

Curriculum: Typically completed in three semesters, our MA program encompasses a wide range of Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies (REEES) courses originating both within the Department of Russian & Slavic Studies itself and in departments across NYU. In addition to our particular strengths in literature, history, and film, the course of study can encompass a wide variety of specializations—from gender studies to politics, from anthropology to music, et cetera. For more information on degree requirements, please see the Graduate Student Handbook.
Thanks to a focus on interdisciplinary and comparative methodologies and an active faculty devoted both to scholarship and to teaching/ advising, our program serves as excellent preparation for graduate study at the PhD level. While our students regularly continue to PhD programs, the curriculum also provides a thorough grounding in REEES for terminal MA students seeking careers in media, non-profits, government, publishing, the arts, and other fields.
