Graduate Diploma in European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at Carleton University

Entry requirements

For admission to the program, applicants should normally meet the following requirements: A four-year degree (or equivalent) in a humanities or social science discipline, with demonstrated coursework in the European/Russian/Eurasian area, ideally covering multiple disciplines (not solely language courses); and A reading knowledge of an appropriate major European/Eurasian language other than English (normally equivalent to two academic years of instruction, or one year with an intensive summer program). Applicants may be admitted with no proficiency or inadequate proficiency in an appropriate language; in this case they must be prepared to undertake additional language training during the course of the MA program in addition to fulfilling the normal M.A. requirements. Practical experience in the area of study will also be taken into consideration. Applicants who do not have the required interdisciplinary background in the European/Russian/Eurasian area are encouraged to apply to the program, but additional coursework beyond the 5.0 credits may be required. #### Accelerated Pathway The accelerated pathway in the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies is a flexible and individualized plan of graduate study for students in their final year of a Carleton undergraduate de
