Russian and East European Studies

Through a wide selection of courses whose primary focus includes Russia, the Ukraine, the former Soviet Union, and the countries of Eastern Europe, this option integrates the study of history, politics, geography, economics, and culture, together with language and literature, in a coherent area studies program designed for the undergraduate student. In addition to the formal course work, students in the Russian and East European Studies attend workshops and special lectures sponsored annually by the Waterloo-Laurier-Guelph Centre for East European and Russian Studies. There are also travel possibilities and fully accredited study abroad opportunities offered by several participating departments.
