专业介绍

The Slavic and East European Studies concentration in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures (GSLL) equips students with linguistic, communicative, literary, cultural, and historical competencies necessary to thrive in a diverse, networked world. With this major concentration, Carolina students are poised to succeed in a wide variety of professional fields including government, non-governmental organizations, policy think tanks, journalism, law, civil service, education, and beyond. The program offers a thorough and rigorous education in small seminars where students receive individualized attention from faculty members.

Coursework for this major ranges from language instruction to advanced research in the cultures of Poland, Ukraine, Czechia, and their regional neighbors. Course offerings focus on modern literature, film and new media, visual art, cultural theory, and history. Courses situate regional subject matter within its broadest global contexts. Carolina also offers for rising sophomores and beyond a portfolio of study abroad options in East Central Europe.

Many Carolina students complement their Slavic and East European degree with second majors in different fields. By combining Slavic and East European studies with a social or natural science major, Carolina graduates certify their balanced mastery of all that the liberal arts model embodies: qualitative critique, qualitative analysis, literacy in global cultures, and regional knowledge with vital relevance to current events.
