Courses offered by the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies are listed under the subject code REES on the Stanford Bulletin's ExploreCourses web site.

The Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (CREEES) coordinates the University's teaching, research, and extracurricular activities related to the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and administers two interdisciplinary academic programs: an undergraduate minor and an M.A. graduate degree program. Information on center programs and activities is available at http://CREEES.stanford.edu. CREEES and its degree programs are directed by the CREEES Steering Committee, composed of faculty members associated with the Center. The programs draw on the strengths of nationally recognized area faculty and research affiliates and significant library and archival collections at Stanford. The Center is a U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center for Russia and East Europe.

Undergraduate Programs in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies

The center offers a minor in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies.

Slavic Theme House—Slavianskii Dom (SlavDom), at 650 Mayfield Avenue, is an undergraduate residence which houses 50 students and offers a wide variety of opportunities to expand knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of Russia, the former Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe.

Overseas Studies Programs—Undergraduates interested in the study of languages, history, culture and social organization of the countries of Russia, Eurasia, and Eastern Europe can apply to study at the Stanford centers in Moscow and Berlin. Participation in these programs is encouraged and easily integrated into the REEES minor. Information about these programs is available at http://osp.stanford.edu.

Graduate Programs in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies

The center offers an M.A. in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies. The center also offers a coterminal M.A. in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies.

Financial Aid—Subject to funding, CREEES may have a limited number of Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships for U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Additional financial aid may also be available from CREEES. Applicants in the M.A. program have priority in the annual FLAS competition; in recent years CREEES has also awarded FLAS fellowships in the Graduate School of Business, the School of Medicine, the School of Education, and the School of Law. Consult the CREEES associate director for further information about the application and award process. Applications for FLAS fellowships can be obtained at http://CREEES.stanford.edu/grants/index.html.

Doctoral Progams—Since the University does not offer a Ph.D. in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, students wishing to pursue a REEES-related doctoral program must apply to one of the departments offering a Ph.D. with an emphasis on Russia, Eurasia, or Eastern Europe, such as the departments of History, Political Science, or Slavic Languages and Literatures.
