Program Information
The dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, the eastward expansion of the European Union and NATO, and the Russia-Ukraine war have changed the social, political, cultural, and economic environment of Central and Eastern Europe. The interdisciplinary program in Central and East European Studies examines not only the present state of this dynamic region, but also the prehistorical and historical factors that have led up to the present. Students study the literatures, cinemas, economy, history, languages, fine art, archaeology and other aspects of this fascinating part of the world.
