We are thrilled to welcome our newest group of exceptional students pursuing interdisciplinary master’s degrees in regional studies covering Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia (hence "REECA"), as well as the Caucasus and beyond. The two-year program offers advanced training in the history, politics, culture, society, and languages of this vast and changing region, but REECA also gives intrepid Harvard College undergrads an opportunity to pursue a concurrent master's degree in their final year of study. Regardless of their chosen path, our graduates go on to make meaningful contributions in their fields—from non-profits and academia to government and the private sector.
