Slavic Studies
Requirements
Description
The concentration in slavic studies focuses on slavic languages and cultures with a focus in either Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS) or Polish. It is designed for students with concentrations in other disciplines (e.g., history, music, political science, economics) whose professional interests lie in Poland or the countries of South-Eastern Europe.
