A One-Year, Intensive Program in Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies The AMREEES program is designed to provide intensive study for serious students who have already built a strong background in Russian and East European Studies (CREEES). This one-year M.A. program offers advanced training in area studies through an interdisciplinary course of study. Program requirements combine language and area courses within social science and humanities disciplines. Students with sufficient background to meet admissions requirements find room for flexibility in their course of study. Students can tailor the one-year course program to fit individual needs and interests. AMREEES students include those seeking careers in government, journalism, NGO and relief organizations, and business; those who hope to pursue a Ph.D. but first want intensive area studies and language training; those who pursue this degree before or concurrently with professional degrees in law, business or public policy; and those who are not yet decided on a career but who want to deepen their understanding of Russia, the former Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe.
Minimum admission requirements to the AMREEES program
include a B.A. or B.S. degree or the equivalent; at least
3 years of college-level study of Russian or another area language
(or the equivalent); and significant coursework in the area in basic
disciplines, especially history, politics and literature.
CREEES Academic Coordinator Jack Kollmann provides academic counseling and oversight to students throughout their time in the degree program. The AM program size is intentionally small, averaging 8 incoming students a year. This enables CREEES to provide individualized, personal attention and guidance on academic and logistical matters.
Degree requirements include a minimum of 48 course units in at least three academic disciplines, including one required core course per quarter. The well-qualified, full-time student usually completes the degree in one academic year (three quarters). For further information, please refer to the Stanford Bulletin.
CREEES students have full access to the
services of Stanford's Career
Development Center, which provides counseling,
diagnostic testing, a career library including electronic resources,
and recruiting programs. CREEES staff maintain and distribute information
about career opportunities specific to REEES.
A limited number of Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships covering full tuition plus stipend are offered each year to U.S. Citizens and permanent residents. Some additional fellowships and grants may be available.
Faculty from many Stanford departments and
areas of study are affiliated with CREEES. Please see our list of
