The Slavic Studies BA at UIUC offers deep engagement with the stories and voices of Central and Eastern Europe—from medieval chronicles to post-Yugoslav graphic novels. Students achieve proficiency in languages such as Polish, Czech, Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, or Belarusian, while examining regional folklore, film, migration, and minority politics. Hands-on projects with the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center and local heritage communities translate academic inquiry into public humanities and international careers.
