The Russian and East European Studies Program at UVM is intended to provide students with a broad-based, interdisciplinary major or minor that prepare them for a number of career opportunities in business, government, journalism, education, tourism as well as for graduate programs in international affairs and law. The faculty consists of widely published scholars and award-winning teachers who have many years of field experience living, working, and travelling in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Disciplines represented include Business, Economics, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, Russian, and Sociology.
The two-track major in Russian/East European Studies or Russian/East European Economics/Business provides a firm foundation in language, literature (in translation or in the original), as well as regional/area information in economics, political science, sociology, and history for both Eastern Europe and the territories of the former Soviet Union.
