Studying Eastern Europe and Central Asia

Most REECA students fulfill their discipline requirements with courses on Russia, and use elective courses to pursue other regional interests.

Students who enter the program with an unusually strong background in Russian studies may choose to focus primarily on another region of the former Soviet Union or Eastern Europe.

The Program on Central Asia and the Caucasus, the Ukrainian Research Institute, and the Center for European Studies are valuable resources for students who plan to focus on a non-Russian region.
