Slavic Philology

The aim of the M.A. program (leading to the Master of Arts degree; standard period of study four semesters) is to expand, with a scholarly focus, the knowledge and skills acquired in the B.A. program. The M.A. phase introduces students to the current state of research in Slavic studies in both contemporary and historical contexts. Language proficiency in the chosen Slavic language is further developed, and the foundations of an additional Slavic language are acquired.
