PhD applications open for Slavic Langagues & Literatures, Uni of Kansas

The Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures at the University of Kansas invites applications for its MA and PhD Programs.


At the MA level, KU SLL provides students with foundational knowledge (major literary periods and genres, structure and function of Slavic languages, disciplinary methodologies, control of writing and research strategies, and appropriate language capacity). Students may choose to focus on Russian, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, or Polish languages and cultures. 


At the PhD level, KU SLL encourages students to engage in deep study of their particular intellectual interests in the areas of Russian Literature, Slavic Linguistics, Language Pedagogy, or Culture (interdisciplinary studies, Russian intellectual history, Slavic folklore), under the direction and close mentorship of our faculty.
