Russian and Eurasian History Programs

Resources in Russian and Eurasian Studies at Maryland

Maryland offers an undergraduate major, Central European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (CERES), which encourages students to study the region with a high level of language study and the multiple perspectives of history, literature, politics, economics, and other disciplines. Students may double-major in History and CERES.

CERES sponsors a range of the university's cultural events, concerts, lectures, and academic conferences relating to Russia and Eurasia.

Russian-related activities at Maryland are given a boost by strong language programs in the Department of Asian and East European Languages and Cultures. Students often take part in the University Russian Club and the St. Mary's Language House located just opposite Jiménez Hall.

Maryland's Department of Government and Politics is the home of the Center for the Study of Post-Communist Societies.

The Iris Center, based at Maryland's Department of Economics, works on economic analysis, legal reform, civil society, and other issues of great concern to Russia, Eastern Europe, and the countries of the former Soviet Union.
