Línguas e Literaturas Eslavas

The doctorate in Slavic Languages and Literatures is designed to prepare students for a career in teaching and scholarship at the university level. It provides a thorough grounding in Russian literary and cultural history as well as in the theoretical perspectives current in the field.

Elective coursework, particularly taken at the upper level, allows students to take advantage of the department's expertise in such additional areas as Russian art, Russian theater, and eastern European cinema. The linguistic component of the curriculum together with the experience as a teaching assistant in Russian language courses that many students gain also serves as preparation for positions involving language teaching.

With this enduring purpose at the heart of University of Southern California Annenberg, there is no place better equipped to prepare the most promising minds to inquire, innovate and lead at the global crossroads of media, technology and culture.
