The sequential M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. degrees are officially granted in Slavic Languages. Students earn these degrees through the study of Russian literature, Czech literature, Polish literature, South Slavic literatures, or Ukrainian literature. The requirements for the degrees earned through the study of Russian literature are described below separately from those for other Slavic literatures. Students wishing to earn a free-standing M.A. degree in Russian, Czech, Polish, South Slavic, or Ukrainian literature enroll in the M.A. program in Slavic Languages. The requirements for these Master's degrees are the same as those for the sequential M.A. degree programs.
