Concentration Requirements

Students earning a graduate degree in the departments listed above may complement their course work by enrolling in a concentration in Central and Eastern European Studies (CEES) after consulting with their graduate advisor. Students pursuing this concentration must obtain approval from a CEES graduate faculty member, preferably within the department of the degree. This faculty member will then serve as the student’s advisor and must approve the student’s CEES course of study.

Among these courses must be CEES 400—A Survey of Central and Eastern Europe and at least one other course (4 hours) from outside of their home department.
