Overview
About the Program
The Russian and Eurasian Studies program of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is regional in spirit, meaning that students can take courses in a wide range of countries of East/Central Europe, the Slavic states, and Central Asia.
The Major Program in Russian Studies consists of a minimum of nine subjects (108 units) beyond the pre-thesis and thesis. The nine subjects must include two language subjects in Area I (or equivalent proficiency); the seven remaining subjects must be selected from at least two of the three other disciplinary areas (Areas II-IV). At least six subjects must be MIT subjects or subjects taken at Harvard University or Wellesley College under cross-registration. Students must receive permission from the major advisor prior to registering for a subject at another institution.
