Subject: [SEELANGS] Ohio State University Slavic Ph.D. Program Accepting
Applications

The Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures at The
Ohio State University welcomes applicants to our M.A./Ph.D. programs in
Slavic Literature, Film, and Cultural Studies and Slavic Linguistics to
begin in Autumn 2014. The Department prefers to admit students who have had
at least three, and preferably more, years of Russian language, as well as
related coursework. (Applicants who have had fewer than three years of
Russian but who have intensive knowledge of other Slavic languages may also
be considered; please contact the Graduate Studies Chair for further
information.)

Prospective students applying to study literature, film, and cultural
studies should have a background in this area equivalent to an undergraduate
major or minor. Likewise, prospective students applying to study linguistics
should have the equivalent of an undergraduate major or minor in
linguistics. Candidates for admission should give evidence of academic
excellence and intellectual promise, as measured by criteria such as
undergraduate grades, scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE),
evaluations in letters of recommendation, and the quality of the writing
sample. We are particularly concerned with the candidate's undergraduate
performance in Russian and/or other Slavic languages and in related
subjects.

At Ohio State the faculty place strong emphasis on mentoring graduate
students in their research, teaching, and professionalization. In addition
to completing a set of basic requirements, students are also given the
flexibility to develop their own specialized scholarly interests. They are
provided with generous financial support, extensive teacher training, and
many resources for professional development. Ph.D. graduates of the program
over the past two decades are currently employed in tenure-track or lecturer
positions at such institutions as Brigham Young University, Brown
University, Dickinson College, Florida State University, Grinnell College,
Indiana University, Middlebury College, Union College, University of Hawaii,
University of Montana, University of New Mexico, University of Pennsylvania,
University of Pittsburgh, University of Toronto, University of Washington,
University of Winnipeg, University of Wisconsin, and Washington & Jefferson
College. Branching out into ever more diverse fields, other graduates have
chosen careers in editing, government, and translating for the European
Union.

The Department's graduate course offerings appeal to a broad range of
intellectual interests. For the Slavic Linguistics specialization, we
currently offer courses and faculty expertise in Structure and History of
the Slavic languages; South Slavic, West Slavic, and Balkan Linguistics; Old
Church Slavonic, Palaeography, and Medieval Slavic Texts; Morphology;
Pragmatics; Second Language Acquisition; Psycholinguistics; Bilingualism;
and other courses. For the Slavic Literature, Film, and Cultural Studies
specialization, we currently offer courses and faculty expertise on
classical, modernist, Soviet, émigré, and postmodern Russian and East
Central European literatures; literature, film, and interdisciplinary
cultural studies; transpositions of literature into other media; gender and
feminist studies; national identity; and other courses. We particularly
encourage the pursuit of interdisciplinary studies within and outside the
Slavic Department. Graduate students are welcome to take advantage of course
offerings and faculty specialists in such departments as Anthropology,
English, History of Art, Linguistics, and Political Studies, and incorporate
a variety of fields and approaches into their research.

The primary degree granted by the Department is the Ph.D. The Department
does not normally admit students who want to pursue a terminal M.A. (i.e.
students whose academic goals do not include a Ph.D.). Those interested in
an interdisciplinary terminal M.A. in Slavic Studies should consider
applying to the master’s program at Ohio State’s Center for Slavic and East
European Studies, which draws on faculty from across the university to
prepare students for East European-related careers in government, the
military, and the private sector. See
http://slaviccenter.osu.edu/index.html.

Burry, Graduate Studies Chair, at [log in to unmask] Applications from
international students must be received by November 30 to be considered for
funding, and by December 13 from domestic students.
