The Center for Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pittsburgh (REES) is an interdisciplinary academic center focusing on central and eastern Europe and the successor states of the Soviet Union. REES is a Title VI National Resource Center funded by the U.S. Department of Education, and as such plays a vital role in fostering scholarship and teaching on this dynamic region. REES faculty come not only from the humanities and social science disciplines that are the traditional academic homes of area studies scholarship, but also from the professional schools such as business, law, education, public health, and public and international affairs. The Center offers a graduate certificate program in Russian Studies or East European Studies.
Requirements:
- Demonstration of proficiency in a language of the former Soviet Union or East/Central Europe equivalent to three years of study at the college level
- Six REES-related courses (18 credits), of which at least three are in two or more departments other than that of the school of law.
- A substantial research paper based on primary source materials in the language(s) of the area. This paper may also be used to fulfill degree requirements.
