The Princeton Slavic Department grants doctoral degrees in Russian Literature and Culture. This program equips students with solid expertise in their primary field while enabling exploration of connected disciplines such as comparative literature, literary theory, and additional Slavic languages and literatures. Our graduate curriculum seeks to advance understanding and academic inquiry concerning Russia and Slavic Central Europe, chiefly through humanistic cultural studies. We encourage students to pursue innovative scholarly directions after establishing a robust grounding in Russian literary heritage, exposure to key theoretical frameworks, and opportunities for international research.
