In addition to basic language competency in both Russian and Croatian, the Russian and East European Studies (REES) Minor includes courses in culture, literature, film, and linguistics, taught in English. Many of these offerings are designed as flexible online courses. The unique interdisciplinary nature of the plan is due in part to the fact that some courses that count toward the REES Minor are offered by other departments, such as History and Political Science.
Graduates typically pursue careers in business, government, and higher education. We invite you to visit the Germanic and Slavic Studies website for more information, including alumni profiles.
Students enrolled in any degree program may pursue a minor designation in Russian and East European Studies.
