Russian Studies - Emory University

Russian Studies from Emory University is a Campus Bachelor European Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Immense in its geographic size and catastrophic in its historical and cultural development, Russia is entering the 21st century as a major player on the world stage. For this reason alone, a degree in Russian language and culture will provide essential preparation for international law, the diplomatic corps, international relations, business, or journalism, to name but a few of the professions open to our students. There are, of course, many other reasons why a student would be well advised to consider pursuing Russian studies . Russian culture has engaged some of the most complex political and social issues: the country's major thinkers (philosophers, writers, scientists, artists) have commented upon these problems with unparalleled insight, creativity, and courage. An acquaintance with their thought will introduce students to some of the most intense and subtle intellectual debates, international in their scope. Our program's main strengths are in 19 and 20th centuries Russian literature, thought, and culture, including modernist and postmodernist trends. In this spirit the area of Slavic studies at Emory University has undergone major changes and as a result enjoys close cooperation with many departments and programs. We encourage students to consider seriously the programs offered through REES and to link language and literary study with innovations in other disciplines, such as intellectual and social history, film and art history, philosophy, political science, business, law, religious studies , Jewish studies, and others. The Russian program seeks, above all, to foster independent thought while providing thorough grounding in the Russian literary tradition and solid training in language and linguistics.
