Unique features of the program in Slavic languages, literatures, and cultures include major emphases on Russian cultural studies (including the contemporary period) and Russian cinema, as well as the 19th c. canon. Slavic graduate students normally also complete graduate certificates in one or more of the following interdisciplinary areas: Russian and East European Studies, Cultural Studies, Film Studies, and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies. Before taking the Slavic PhD comprehensive examinations, eligible Slavic PhD students can apply to transfer to Pitt’s Interdisciplinary Film Studies PhD (with a concentration in Slavic), thereby working towards a single PhD in two disciplines. For information on the Interdisciplinary Film Studies PhD, see http://www.english.pitt.edu/graduate/phd-film-studies. Applicants accepted for the PhD program in Russian literature and culture who may be interested in transferring to Film Studies are welcome to consult with the Film Studies graduate advisor when applying.
