Our faculty works together in joint-advising arrangements to provide students with extensive contact and interaction both in and out of the classroom. Students are trained in both Russian and East European history, as well as in comparative and methodological minor fields. This diverse scope of geographical areas and historiographical fields produces intellectually wide-ranging scholars and prepares our students well for the demands of the job market, as our recent successes in job placement indicate.
