Minor: Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies
(REEES)

The REEES minor offers a wide variety of subjects, approaches, classes, professors and experiences. From the great classics of Russian literature to the operations of the current Russian mafia; from gypsy music and culture of the Balkans to the history of Stalin's gulag; from nomadic art of Central Asia to contemporary Russian cinema; the REEES minor is a gateway to a whole world of knowledge and experience. Besides being able to choose from many thought-provoking courses, REEES minors have many opportunities to participate in interesting activities such as the Russian Club (famed for its costume parties and delicious food) and the yearly Russian play.
