Meant to complement a wide range of majors, the East European and Eurasian Studies minor teaches region-specific concepts and research tools, while supporting students in developing introductory-level knowledge in at least one of the region’s many languages. This knowledge will equip students to better address issues related to this area in their future careers, whether these be in law, business, science, government or non-profit work, health, or teaching.
Requirements for the Minor
All students must complete 24 credits of coursework as follows:
- At least 1 course offering broad coverage of the entire EEES area
- 3 EEES courses at the advanced level (300 or 400 level)
- At least 1 EEES course in the social sciences (e.g. political science, anthropology, history)
- At least 1 EEES course in the humanities (e.g. literature, comparative literature, theatre)
In addition, all students will either take 2 introductory-level language classes or demonstrate intro-level proficiency in one of the regional languages, including but not limited to: Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Latvian, Armenian, Georgian, Azeri, Turkish, Uzbek, Tajik, Slovene, BSC, Kazakh, Albanian, Macedonian, Bulgarian, Estonian, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian.
A list of courses and further information can be obtained from the REEES Director.
