Overview
The Asian Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh was established in 1969 as an integral part of the University Center for International Studies (UCIS). It was created to promote new knowledge and a broader understanding of the nations of East, South and Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. The formation of the Asian Studies Program signaled a new commitment by the University to the study of Asia, which in retrospect was both timely and farsighted.

Since 1988 the Asian Studies Program has served as one of only 12 National Resource Centers for East Asian Studies with support provided by the U.S. Department of Education. The program has 63 affiliated faculty, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on Asia.

The University of Pittsburgh now offers graduate training in Asian studies at the doctoral level in virtually all of the social science departments, several of those in the humanities, and in the School of Education and the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. Asia-related courses are available to graduate students in the departments of Anthropology, Classics, East Asian Languages and Literatures, Economics, Fine Arts, History, Linguistics, Music, Political Science, Religious Studies, and Sociology; and in the School of Education, the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, and the Graduate School of Public Health. Using Asian studies faculty and courses in these various units within the University, MA and PhD students in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences are encouraged to coordinate their graduate programs in their own departments with the opportunities for advanced work on Asia available throughout the University. (See Certificate Program below.)

Competency in the language is central to all programs in Asian studies. The Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures offers beginning, intermediate, and advanced courses in Chinese and Japanese; it offers a Master of Arts degree in Chinese Language and Literature and an interdisciplinary Master of Arts degree in East Asian Studies. (See Degree Programs below.) The Department of Linguistics offers courses in the Thai, Korean, Hindi, and Indonesian languages through their Language Acquisition Institute. Tutoring in other Asian languages can be requested by interested students.

Faculty Research
As indicated by the titles of some of the 50 or so books written by the program faculty, the topics of research range from politics (Japanese Radicals Revisited: Student Protest in Postwar Japan), economics (Economic Growth in Prewar China), and anthropology (Inequality Among Brothers: Class and Kinship in South China), to social (Education and Popular Literacy in Ch'ing China) and economic history (Agricultural Development and Tenancy Disputes in Japan, 1870-1940), music (Cantonese Opera: Performance as Creative Process), poetry (Understanding Chinese Poetry from Within: The Evolution of the Critical Perception of 'Ch'ing' and 'Ching'), fiction (The Rhetoric of Chin P'ing Mei), drama (Toward a Modern Japanese Theatre: Kishida Kunio), fine arts (Tradition, Phase and Style in Shang and Chou Ritual Vessels; Matabei as Machishu: The Two Worlds of Ukiyo), film (The Japanese Classical Theater in Films) and bibliography (East Asian Resources in American Libraries). In chronological terms, these publications span Asian civilization from ancient times (Ancient China in Transition) to the present (Public Policy and Private Education in Japan). In geographical terms they range from China (Agricultural Change and the Peasant Economy of South China) and Japan (A Reader's Guide to Japanese Literature) to India (Experiencing Siva: Encounters With A Hindu Deity), Laos (The Pathet Lao-Leadership and Organization), and New Guinea (Inequality in Highlands New Guinea). The high quality of work is reflected in the 1990 Arisawa Prize for excellence of scholarship on Japan awarded to Mae Smethurst's book The Artistry of Aeschylus and Zeami: A Comparative Study of Greek Tragedy and No.

Focus on Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Activity

One of the unique feature of Pittsburgh's Asian Studies Program is the richness of interdisciplinary research collaboration among its own faculty. Recent publications include joint efforts involving Pittsburgh colleagues in Anthropology and History (Death Ritual in Late Imperial and Modern China) and in Fine Arts and History (Western Chou Civilization). A group including faculty from Classics, East Asian Languages and Literatures, Education, and Theatre Arts is currently pursuing a project on Japanese theatre, film, and the performing arts, while another team from Anthropology, History, and Music is undertaking collaborative study of Music in Chinese Ritual.

These collaborative efforts include a whole array of workshops, conferences, and projects that bring together researchers from many disciplines and institutions. Recent examples of such work, which adds an important dimension to the research program, include a major international conference on the history, arts, and archaeology of China's Northern Neighbors; Regional Structural Change in International Perspective, which brings faculty from all four area studies centers in UCIS together with scholars from China, Japan, and other nations; The Culture of Manufacturing in Japan, a six-week study mission to Japan, in which members of the Asian Studies Program accompanied engineering faculty members from the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon for the purpose of developing new curriculum modules; Apprentice Education in Japan, a workshop which examined situated learning in areas ranging from pearl diving to physics; Comparative Change in Taiwan, a series of conferences held at Pitt and in Taiwan involving several of Pitt's China specialists, non-specialists from the Departments of History, Political Science, and Sociology, and an interdisciplinary group of scholars from National Taiwan University; a projected multi-year program of research and instruction on the social, political, and economic impact of the steel industry; and faculty-sponsored workshops and planning meetings on subjects as varied as Japan's Tempo famine, secret histories, applying economic theory to the study of China's economic history, the great depression in Japan, and Japanese agriculture and farming. At present, separate faculty groups are preparing new research and teaching initiatives in the areas of Music and Society in China, and Historical and Anthropological Perspectives on Medicine and Health in Asia.

Degree Programs
MA in East Asian Studies
The Interdisciplinary MA in East Asian studies (IDMA) is a program that combines advanced language training with study in the social sciences and humanities and focuses on the region of Eastern Asia. It is primarily intended for students planning professional careers in government, business, journalism, or pre-college teaching; or pre-doctoral students who desire intensive area training before choosing a doctoral program in a single discipline. The Asian Studies Program administers the interdisciplinary program, and courses are taught by faculty members in different academic departments and schools who specialize in East Asia. The degree is granted by the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures.

Admission
In addition to evidence of academic promise, applicants generally have some Chinese or Japanese language study. However, applicants with strong academic credentials with no previous language training will be given serious consideration if they can show how an interdisciplinary language and area program in East Asian Studies will contribute to their long-term goals.

Applications must submit original transcripts and GRE scores. Three letters of recommendation are required and should be sent directly to the East Asian Languages and Literatures Department. The undergraduate GPA must be over 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for admission. Non-native English speakers must have scored at least 600 on the TOEFL exam. A two-page Statement of Purpose must be submitted that describes how the IDMA can fulfill the student's academic and intellectual goals. Applicants may also be required to submit a paper that demonstrates their writing skills.

The deadline each year for submitting applications is January 15th. Notification can be expected by the middle of March.

For application forms, write the Graduate Secretary, Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260. Telephone: 412/624-5568. For specific questions about the IDMA degree in East Asian Studies, write Dianne Dakis, Assistant Director, Asian Studies Program, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260. Telephone: 412/648-7367.

Requirements for Graduation
The IDMA requires a minimum of 24 credits of course work in two or more departments. This is typically a two-year program, designed for students who already have some Japanese or Chinese language study. The Departments of Anthropology, Classics, Economics, Fine Arts, History, East Asian Languages and Literatures, Political Science, and Sociology all have faculty who specialize in East Asia. At least six of the required credits must be taken in course work relating to the ancient and modern history of either China or Japan. A research paper, whose topic and content are approved by the student's academic advisor and a faculty committee chosen by the student, must be completed. The research paper must show an ability to use sources in an East Asian language, generally requiring the equivalent of three years' college-level study.

The candidate and an academic adviser work together to plan a coherent program designed to assure the mastery of specified knowledge and skills. When course work and paper have been completed, the student must pass an oral comprehensive examination in East Asian Studies from the perspective of at least two disciplines, administered by the student's faculty committee. The interdisciplinary nature of the program comes from the requirments for taking graduate-level courses in different departments and not from specially constructed interdisciplinary courses.

MA in Chinese Language and Literature
This program, offered by the East Asian Languages and Literatures Department, is presently not available. For specific questions, call 412/624-5568.

Certificate Program
By definition, a certificate program is an educational experience that results in concentrated training in or knowledge of an interdisciplinary subject. The graduate-level certificate in Asian Studies is designed for students who wish to intensify their study of Asia-either because they would like to be able to use their knowledge of that critical part of the world in their careers after graduation, or because they see the importance of an understanding of Asian history, language, and culture for all educated people pursuing a liberal arts degree. No extra tuition charges are necessary to enroll as a certificate candidate.

Requirements
Requirements for the Graduate Certificate in Asian Studies for students in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences include:

1. Course Work. Five upper-level courses or graduate seminars dealing with Asia in at least two departments. The five courses must include one interdisciplinary seminar or one seminar outside the student's major department.

2. Language Proficiency. Demonstration of proficiency in reading and speaking Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, or another approved Asian language related to one of the student's countries of interest. This generally means at least three years' study or its equivalent. This requirement may be satisfied by successfully completing appropriate courses or by passing a special examination. The participant is expected to use the approved Asian language in the required research paper.

3. Research Paper. A research paper in Asian studies is required of all candidates for a graduate certificate. The student can fulfill this requirement by presenting either a seminar paper or thesis. The paper may be used to complete departmental requirements for a graduate degree as well as for the certificate requirements but must include scholarly inquiry or research using the student's Asian language.

The graduate certificate may be earned by American and international students from any department or school of the University. When all requirements have been met, the student is awarded the Advanced Certificate in Asian Studies as well as the academic degree. Both credentials are posted on the final transcript. The graduate certificate will be awarded only in conjunction with an advanced degree in a department or professional school and upon completion of an application for graduation.

Admission to Certificate Program
Application should be made first to the school or department the candidate wishes to enter. Mention should be made on the application that the student also wishes to be a candidate for the advanced certificate in Asian Studies. As soon as a prospective candidate has been accepted for study by the school or department, she or he should request admission to candidacy for the certificate from the Assistant Director of the Asian Studies Program, 4E35 Forbes Quadrangle.

Exchange and Study Abroad Programs
Graduate students are encouraged to undertake study abroad in Asia as part of their academic training. The Asian Studies faculty's extensive network of relationships with scholars and institutions in Asian countries makes it possible to arrange suitable placements for students with particular interests.

Library and Other Resources
The University of Pittsburgh Library System, which contains more than five and a half million volumes, has excellent collections of resources in East Asian Studies for teaching and scholarly research. Hillman Library houses the East Asian Library which ranks 15th in size among the 94 East Asian libraries in the U.S. and has a rapidly growing collection of Asian language materials, reflecting the research interests of the faculty. The collection of Chinese and Japanese language materials is especially strong in the social sciences and literature. The East Asian Library has 149,548 volumes of Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Western language materials, plus 2,017 titles of periodicals (21,697 volumes bound) published in the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea. A professional staff of full-time reference librarians is available for assistance with bibliographic searches, interlibrary loan applications, reference requests and research. Hillman Library also contains a sizeable collection of materials on all regions of Asia in English and other Western languages. In addition, the Media Center in Hillman Library contains a strong collection of documentaries, feature films, and video tapes relating to Asia.

Most of the library's holdings in Western languages are now catalogued on computer and can be accessed from terminals located throughout the main library, in departmental and professional school libraries, and in computer centers on campus. Users can also access this PITTCAT PLUS network via a modem. PITTCAT PLUS permits searches by author, subject, title, and key words in the title.

The Carnegie Museum of Natural History and its Scaife Gallery of Art, adjacent to the University of Pittsburgh campus, have extensive collections of Asian artifacts and art objects. These materials are available to qualified students for study and research.

Scholarships and Fellowships
The Asian Studies Program holds an annual competition to distribute scholarships and fellowships to students pursuing a degree or certificate in Asian Studies. They include awards established through endowments as well as Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships funded by the U.S. Department of Education. The University's Nationality Rooms Program also offers summer grants for study in Asia. Most departments and schools have their own sources of financial aid to which students in Asian studies may apply.

Generous grants and gifts from organizations both in the U.S. and Asia provide significant support for programs of study, faculty expansion and research, and an annual series of seminars, lectures, concerts, and special exhibitions related to Asia.

For thirty years, the University of Pittsburgh has been committed to a Latin American studies program of unique depth and richness. Its Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS), established in 1964, has become internationally recognized for excellence in undergraduate, graduate, and professional education. The U.S. Department of Education designated CLAS in 1979 as a comprehensive National Resource Center (NRC) on Latin America. In 1983, Pittsburgh and Cornell University combined their resources to form a consortium on Latin American studies which has been awarded an NRC since its formation.

CLAS' programs cover all of the Latin American and Caribbean region. The expertise of its 140 faculty members clusters around the Andean countries, Mesoamerica, Brazil, and the Caribbean Basin. About 70 faculty members, most of whom are in the social sciences and humanities, form the center's core teaching and research nucleus; they offer approximately 150 courses in 18 departments and schools each academic year. The other faculty, many of whom are in the health professions, natural sciences and engineering, have broad interests and experience in the region.

Programs of Note
Department of Anthropology. With 17 faculty members involved in research and teaching on Latin America, anthropology represents a major component of CLAS' instructional program. Within anthropology, the Latin American Archaeology Programis, by numerous measures, the strongest such program in the United States. Through fellowships (funded by The Howard Heinz Endowment), unusually promising Latin American students are sponsored for graduate study in the archaeology program.

Department of Hispanic Languages & Literatures. The department counts among its faculty 13 scholars involved in teaching and research on Latin America. The department has special strengths in Latin American literature and culture and Hispanic linguistics, houses the International Institute of Iberoamerican Literature and publishes several journals including the Revista Iberoamericana. The quantity and quality of its course offerings is especially important because it is the source of instruction in the two primary languages of the region-Spanish and Portuguese.

Department of Linguistics. Linguistics offers a program in American Indian languages, with a major focus on Central and lowland South American languages. Through this program, students may receive an MA or PhD in linguistics with a specialization in American Indian languages. The program has led to the development of a number of new courses in American Indian languages, such as the Amazonian language Pirahã. Quechua and Aymara are regularly offered through the department's Language Acquisition Institute.

Department of Political Science. The University of Pittsburgh's Department of Political Science offers a rich program in Latin American politics. It has exceptional faculty resources in the fields of U.S.-Latin American relations and Andean, Brazilian, and Central American politics.

Graduate School of Public & International Affairs (GSPIA). With eight faculty associated with CLAS, GSPIA is the professional school with which CLAS has its closest ties. Recent faculty additions provide major strength in studying the process of economic restructuring in the region. New affiliations with several outstanding Latin American institutions are expected to lead to collaborative research and training programs focussed on restructuring, as well as on the process of decentralization.

Library
One of the major resources on Latin America available to students at the University of Pittsburgh is the Latin American library collection, which consists of more than 300,000 volumes (85 percent in Spanish and Portuguese), 7,500 periodical titles, and 81,000 microforms, and is recognized as among the top ten such collections in the world. Its resources include exceptional collections on Bolivia and Cuba as well as extensive holdings on Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela.

The Latin American collection maintains 480 exchange arrangements with libraries, institutions, and research centers. It is a depository of Soviet materials on Latin America through an exchange agreement with the Latin American Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences; a similar exchange with the Institute of Latin American Studies in Beijing enables the library to receive all materials on Latin America published in China. Hillman Library is a regional depository for materials of the U.S. Government Printing Office, the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Foundation Center. It also maintains the complete microfiche series of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) and the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF). The University of Pittsburgh is one of only 22 institutions in the world to have hard copies of HRAF. Computer access is available to more than 600 databases.

As a way of further expanding the collection, the library subscribes to LAMP (Latin American Microform Project), a service specializing in microfilming out-of-print, scarce, expensive, or unique materials for preservation purposes. As a member of the Center for Research Libraries (CRL), the library has access to a vast amount of research materials: monographs, journals, foreign doctoral dissertations, government documents, newspapers microfilmed by the CRL Foreign Newspapers Microfilm Project (FNMP). The library is an active participant in the Intensive Cuban Collecting Group, a cooperative project for the microfilming of Cuban periodicals held by American libraries.

Certificate Program
Pittsburgh's Latin American studies program is based on the premise that students should obtain a sound background in an academic discipline or professional program and supplement that work with multidisciplinary competence on the region and proficiency in at least one of its languages. Therefore, CLAS offers the Graduate Certificate in Latin American studies in conjunction with the academic or professional degree in the student's major field.

Candidates for Latin American studies certificates can focus their studies in any of the academic departments and professional schools listed below. These units offer courses that provide area competence on Latin America and the Caribbean. Spanish and Portuguese language courses at all levels are offered by the Department of Hispanic Languages and Literatures. Amerindian languages-Quechua and Aymara-may be studied through the Language Acquisition Institute operated by the Department of Linguistics.

Graduate students interested in Latin America who are enrolled in one of the departments and schools with which the center is associated normally select a CLAS faculty member as their adviser. They are encouraged to register with the center early in their graduate programs in order to be eligible for CLAS fellowships, travel and research grants, and to receive the monthly calendar of events on Latin America.

CLAS encourages its students to present papers at professional conferences and, whenever possible, helps cover some of their travel expenses. Summer field research grants are available each year for graduate students. Center staff members also work with students to prepare competitive grant proposals for thesis and dissertation research support.

Students completing a Latin American studies program through CLAS have been very successful in obtaining employment that utilizes their area expertise. Recent graduate certificate recipients have found jobs in international organizations; as teachers in public and private schools, colleges and universities; in government service; and in business.

Certificate Requirements
The Graduate Certificate in Latin American Studies is awarded after completion of all requirements for the master's degree, or after the student has passed the comprehensive examinations for the doctorate. Certificate requirements consist of area courses, language proficiency, and research. Completion of a Latin American program need not lengthen the amount of time required to obtain a degree. Optional courses in one's major can be used to complete the requirements for Latin American area specialization.

1. Six Latin American area studies courses: two courses in the student's major department or school and four courses in at least two departments/schools other than that in which the student is receiving the advanced degree (18 credits).

2. Language proficiency: three years, or the equivalent, of college-level Spanish or Portuguese or an Amerindian language of the area. Students must have adequate proficiency to converse and conduct research; a standardized examination is given to each candidate through the Department of Hispanic Languages and Literatures.

3. Interdisciplinary research paper: a research paper on Latin America that reflects competence in at least two disciplines. The master's thesis or a revised research paper may be used to fulfill this requirement.

Admission
All students must be admitted to a school or department of the University of Pittsburgh before they can be accepted into the Latin American studies program. Graduate students should apply directly to the department or school in which they wish to complete their advanced degree.

Application to the Center for Latin American Studies may be submitted either at the same time as application to the University or after the student has been admitted. In either case, the center cannot accept students until they have received notification of admission to the University. Upon acceptance by the Center for Latin American Studies, students are given a detailed description of the requirements for the program as outlined above.

Financial Assistance
Each year the University of Pittsburgh grants a limited number of awards to graduate students enrolled in, or applying for admission to, departments and professional schools associated with the Center for Latin American Studies. These include Andrew Mellon, Owens, and Provost's Humanities and Development Fellowships. Other financial assistance is available in the form of teaching and research assistantships, teaching fellowships, and work-study programs. The Department of Anthropology's archaeology fellowships, funded by The Howard Heinz Endowment, provide funding for unusually promising Latin American students to undertake graduate study in the archaeology program. CLAS annually awards three or four U.S. Department of Education National Resource Fellowships for Latin American Language and Area Studies. Prospective students should apply for such financial assistance at the same time as they apply for admission to the department or school in which they plan to major. Mention should be made on the application of their interest in Latin American studies.

Graduate students at the University of Pittsburgh also have been highly successful in obtaining national competitive grants and fellowships such as those offered through Ford, Fulbright, National Science Foundation, OAS, Rockefeller, SSRC-ACLS, and Tinker. Latin American students residing in their home countries should seek financial assistance for graduate study at the University of Pittsburgh through as many sources as possible and at least a year in advance of the beginning of their studies. CLAS annually supports a limited number of Latin American students through partial or full tuition remission fellowships (TRFs). First priority for the TRFs is given to students from institutions with which the center has formalized exchange agreements or students recommended by the Latin American Scholarship Program at American Universities (LASPAU) and the Institute of International Education (IIE).

Short-Term Field Research Grants
A major goal of CLAS is to provide opportunities for its students to travel to the Latin American/Caribbean region for research and study. Each year, CLAS awards grants to graduate students in its program for short-term field research. From 10 to 20 grant recipients are selected through the annual competition. This program makes it possible for CLAS graduate students to acquire a profound and intimate knowledge of language, culture, and geography; to gather research data; and to develop contacts with scholars and institutions in the field.

Travel to Professional Meetings
CLAS supports graduate students who are invited participants in national conferences on Latin America by providing funds towards travel expenses. Special efforts are made to assist students in attending the Latin American Studies Association meetings.

Courses on Latin America
The following list is representative of the courses regularly offered on Latin America. Those with titles not dealing explicitly with Latin America include material from the region and are taught by faculty members with Latin American expertise (these courses require CLAS approval for use in fulfilling certificate requirements).

The Center for Russian and East European Studies plays a coordinating and facilitating role in the education of graduate students about the people, languages, history, and contemporary developments in Russia, the former Soviet Union, and East Europe. Designated as a National Resource Center by the U.S. Department of Education, the center is led by a director, an associate director who has special responsibility for graduate students, and an assistant director.

Departments offering programs leading to an MA or PhD degree with a specialization in Russia or Eastern Europe include Anthropology, Communication, Economics, Fine Arts, History, Linguistics, Political Science, Religious Studies, Slavic Languages and Literatures, and Sociology. Students interested in such specialization should register in the appropriate department. Advice on such programs may be sought from REES as well as from the departmental advisers. REES offers interdisciplinary graduate programs that may be taken in conjunction with work for a graduate degree, leading to a Certificate in East European Studies, or a Certificate in Russian/Soviet Studies. The center sponsors graduate Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships supported by the U.S. Department of Education for study during the academic year and for intensive language instruction during the summer.

Research Opportunities
A faculty-student seminar in Russian and East European studies meets several times a week to discuss current research interests. Exchange relationships with institutions in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe provide numerous opportunities for research abroad and for visits of scholars from the region to the campus. Other activities include lectures by distinguished scholars of the area, and student clubs for the study of Russian, Polish, Slovak, Ukrainian, Serbo-Croatian, and Hungarian.

The extent and diversity of faculty research interests provide wide opportunities for research guidance and experience in many departments. While research and teaching embrace virtually all areas of inquiry related to the region, expertise is particularly strong in the following areas:

Political, Economic and Social Transition. Faculty from Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, and Business are currently engaged in research and teaching on different aspects of the transition from one-party, state-dominated socialism to market-oriented economies and pluralist political and social systems.

The International Relations of the Region. The complex, changing, and often dangerous dynamics of the relations of these states with each other and the rest of the world are the subject of numerous publications, research projects, and course offerings by faculty in the Department of Political Science and the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.

Contemporary Russian Culture and Society. The Center for Russian and East European Studies is fortunate to count among the faculty six prominent scholars whose research focuses on contemporary culture of Russia and the former Soviet Union. This allows the University to offer an unusually rich array of courses on this rapidly changing society. These offerings are further enhanced by the University's exchanges with Russian institutions, its rich library holdings, direct reception of Russian TV broadcasts, and access to daily press and radio materials, enabling students to develop a unique perspective on contemporary Russian life.

Elites in the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Work in this area is concentrated in the Departments of History, Political Science, and Sociology and takes advantage of the Soviet Data Bank, computer-based biographies of all Soviet party and state leaders since 1917 that has been developed and compiled at the University. The Center for Russian and East European Studies is also home to the Archive on the History of Soviet Society and State, a machine-readable data archive compiled by the co-directors of the Soviet Data Bank and scholars at the Moscow State Historical Archive Institute.

Specialized National Foci. Among the center's faculty are five specialists whose work focuses on the South Slavic peoples. This allows the center to offer special programs and courses on, for example, the creation and disintegration of Yugoslavia. The Slavic Languages Department has the only full-time permanent faculty member in the country who specializes in Slovak language and culture, and each of the last five years a visiting Fulbright professor has offered additional courses on Slovak literature and culture.

Special Projects. The center also supports and benefits from the media projects of the UCIS Media Center that has developed nationally acclaimed material on the art, culture, and peoples of the region. Language and social science instruction in particular are aided by the use of Russian television broadcasts that are captured and taped by the Media Center's satellite tracking facility.

Hillman Library's collection in Russian and East European Studies has grown steadily with the support of University and external funds. Acquisitions in all fields are continually expanded and updated; the collection currently has more than 151,000 volumes in the languages of the area, plus newspapers and periodicals from or about the region. In 1991, 45,000 volumes on Polish history and culture from the former Alliance College were donated and added to the collection. The Slavic bibliographer arranges orientation sessions for classes and individuals. The University of Pittsburgh Press publishes its own special series devoted to the region, and the center publishes The Carl Beck Papers in Russian and East European Studies, a scholarly papers series with international distribution.

Certificate Programs
The certificate programs permit students to acquire greater perspective on, and a deeper understanding of, Russia or East Europe than can ordinarily be obtained within a single discipline. The programs are supplementary to work in a regular discipline. The certificate will be awarded only after completion of the master's degree or its equivalent in a participating department. It can be earned by students who have obtained a master's degree at another institution if approved by the director. The certificate programs have three components: language proficiency, approved courses, and a research paper.

Requirements
1. Language
Russian or Soviet Studies. Demonstration of proficiency in the Russian language equivalent to three years at the college level is required for the certificate. All students are expected to continue language training for at least one year while enrolled in the program.

East European Studies. Demonstration of knowledge sufficient for research purposes of at least two languages, the first of which must be a language of Eastern Europe and the second either French, German, or Russian. All students are expected to continue language training for at least one year while enrolled in the program.

2. Course Work
Six courses or seminars approved for the program must be successfully completed by the candidate. Of these six courses, at least four must be taken in two or more departments other than the student's major department. The student is responsible, in consultation with his or her adviser, for choosing a coherent interdisciplinary combination of courses on the area and for justifying the choice in terms of his or her educational and career interests.

3. Research
A research paper in Soviet, Russian, or East European studies is required of all candidates for the certificate. Students are expected to use primary source materials in the relevant language(s) in their research paper. This paper may be used to fulfill degree requirements.

Within these requirements, the individual's program will be worked out in consultation with, and is subject to the approval of, his or her departmental adviser and a member of the committee. Further information on procedures for completing the certificate programs may be obtained from the Russian and East European Studies office, 4G15 Forbes Quadrangle.

Admission
The certificate programs are open to qualified students working for an advanced degree at the University. To be eligible for admission the student must have been accepted by the department or professional school in which he or she is to work for an advanced degree. Admission to graduate status should be secured in one of the departments of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, according to the procedures outlined in the appropriate bulletin. The application should be accompanied by a separate statement requesting admission to the Certificate Program in Russian/Soviet Studies or in East European Studies.

Financial Assistance
Students should apply for financial assistance through their academic department. They will be considered for all appropriate fellowships or assistantships, including any administered by the Center for Russian and East European Studies, such as the Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships in Russian and East European Studies (See Financial Assistance). Applicants should indicate their interest in Russian and East European Studies in their applications to departments. Information concerning government and foundation sources of support for study and dissertation research abroad and for summer language training may be obtained from the program office.

A special pamphlet on the Center for Russian and East European Studies and further information about the program may be obtained from the Russian and East European Studies Office, 4G15 Forbes Quadrangle.

Courses
The program in Russian and East European studies distributes, prior to each term, a list of the courses to be offered that term. Course descriptions are included in the CAS or FAS Course Descriptions, which are distributed prior to each term. Courses available to graduate students include:

(NOTE - courses without an ISIS number have not been offered in the last two years and thus the center cannot provide the ISIS number.)

West European Studies

DIRECTOR: ALBERTA SBRAGIA, Professor Political Science; ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: PETER BREIL; Associated faculty from the following departments: Anthropology, Classics, Communication, Economics, English, Fine Arts, French and Italian Languages and Literatures, Germanic Languages and Literatures, Hispanic Languages and Literatures, History, History and Philosophy of Science, Linguistics, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies, Sociology, Theatre Arts, Katz Graduate School of Business, and Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, the School of Law, the School of Education, School of Social Work, and the School of Library and Information Science

The West European Studies Program (WES) is an administrative unit with University-wide responsibility for the coordination and development of scholarship and teaching related to Western Europe at the University of Pittsburgh. Situated within the University Center for International Studies, WES works closely with other international programs at the University, in particular with the Center for Russian and East European Studies. The West European Studies Program works with more than 100 faculty involved in research, teaching, and exchange relationships centered on Western Europe. These faculty represent the humanities and social sciences as well as Pitt's Schools of Public and International Affairs, Law, Social Work, Engineering, Business, Education, and Library and Information Science.

The intellectual profile of West European Studies at Pitt reflects the diverse processes currently shaping the region. European Community Studies constitutes a particular program research focus and draws on the exceptionally rich resources of Hillman Library, a European Union Document Repository; other strengths include comparative public policy (political economy, the welfare state, and the environment), social and intellectual history, and science and technology. Focuses of collaboration with the humanities include the University's Cultural Studies Program and the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Program.

Students may obtain a Certificate in West European Studies (described below) at both the graduate and undergraduate level as a complement to studies in a major discipline. Additionally, the program makes its resources available to assist students in developing their own research agenda. It organizes research groups and student research forums to allow students to gain experience presenting their research to fellow students and faculty.
