Study Abroad
Slavic majors and minors may take advantage of some extraordinary opportunities for study abroad in Latvia, Kazakhstan, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Many of our students spend a summer, a semester, or even a full-year on study abroad (and, yes, you can still graduate in four years with a full year abroad). For students studying Russian, our affiliated programs are American Councils in Almaty, Kazakhstan and SRAS Riga, Latvia. Students studying Polish can study abroad in Kraków at Poland’s oldest university, Jagiellonian University. In Prague, our affiliated program offers many options with foci on film, journalism, and Central European Studies. The film focus provides professional, practical training for students in film production, documentary, and acting for film. Students can also receive Slavic credit for participating in Northwestern’s public health summer study abroad program in Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. For advice and questions about study abroad please contact the Slavic Study Abroad Advisor, Martina Kerlova, or Northwestern’s Study Abroad Office.
Thanks to the generosity of Brad and Karen Radulovacki (the Radulovacki Slavic Studies Fund) and Professor Emeritus Irwin Weil (The Irwin and Vivian M. Weil Fund), the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures is able to provide support for students studying abroad in Slavic-related programs during the summer months or during the regular academic year. To apply for a grant, students should complete and submit and application (forthcoming) to the department, along with a budget and proof of acceptance into a language or culture study program (or presentation at a conference). Questions? Please contact Prof. Martina Kerlova at: m-kerlova@northwestern.edu.
