Slavic Languages and Literatures - Indiana University - Bloomington

Slavic Languages and Literatures from Indiana University - Bloomington is a Campus Master Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Indiana University was first organized in 1947 as the Department of Slavic Studies under the leadership of Michael Ginsburg, the university's first professor of Russian. Indiana University is the only university in the state of Indiana to offer the doctoral degree , as well as offering bachelor's and master's degrees, in Slavic Languages and Literatures. The department has a full array of language, literature, culture, and linguistics courses for students interested in the study of Russian, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Czech, Polish, Romanian, and Ukrainian. Intensive summer training in Russian and other languages of our region has been offered at IU Bloomington since 1950. The department's Summer Workshop in Slavic, East European, and Central Asian Languages (SWSEEL) remains the largest such program in the United States, offering students the opportunity to complete a full year of college language instruction during a single eight-week summer session for reduced tuition rates. IU Slavic department faculty members represent one of the largest and best concentrations of expertise in the United States, with particular strength in Slavic Linguistics (Feldstein, Fowler, Franks, Shrager); Russian literature (Beinek, Stefani); pedagogy and phonetics (Chernishenko, Holdeman, Shrager, Stern-Gottschalk); and literary and cultural studies of Czech (Volkova), Polish (Beinek), Romanian (Illias) and South Slavic languages (Cooper). The department works in cooperation with IU???s U.S. Department of Education funded Title VI Center, the Russian & East European Institute, to offer a variety of extra-curricular programming throughout the year. Department students participate in language practice tables (available for all languages), study abroad, talent shows, the Zeta Zeta chapter of Dobro Slovo National Slavic Honor Society, and the annual American Council of Teachers of Russian (ACTR) national post-secondary Russian essay contest.
