Studying Eastern Europe at The University of Chicago

The University of Chicago is a vital center for research on Eastern Europe. We are proud to inhabit a city with large diaspora communities–Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian, to name a few–from the region, and the presence of these communities enriches our teaching, research, and programming. We offer instruction in all of the region’s major languages and offer undergraduate and graduate students a strong grounding in its history, culture, and politics. In recent years, CEERES has been particularly active in promoting knowledge about Ukraine.
