The program leads to a Master of Arts degree with a major in Russian.

The MA Program in Russian requires the completion of at least 33 units of graduate level study. The department offers two tracks in its degree program; one in Language, Literature, and Linguistics (LLL) and one in Russian and East European Studies (REES).

The prerequisite for the Language, Literature, and Linguistics track is a Bachelor's Degree including at least 16 acceptable units of upper-division work in Russian.

The prerequisite for the REES track is a Bachelor's Degree and a minimum of the equivalent of two years of study of the Russian language. If undergraduate language work beyond this minimum is deemed necessary, the graduate advisor and student may devise a program of study which will allow the student to attend graduate classes (taught in English) in such departments as History, Political Science, Geography, Comparative Cultural and Literary Studies, and possibly others, while working to advance his/her Russian language skills.

* Every MA student will be expected to be enrolled in at least one department program course bearing 3 graduate units per semester.
