| Requirements
for the Major in Russian and East European Studies |
 |
Russian and East European Studies (REES) is an
interdisciplinary program of study of the peoples of Russian
and Eastern Europe in their historical and international
context, combining language study, the arts and humanities,
historical inquiry and the social sciences. Relevant courses
taught at any of The Claremont Colleges may be applied to
the Russian and East European Studies major. In order to
declare a major in REES, a student must present to the
department a prospectus which explains which courses he or
she plans to take, how these courses fit together as a
coherent program of study, and what general problem or area
is proposed for a senior thesis. Detailed instructions for
preparation of the prospectus are available upon request.
The major includes 13 courses which are to be distributed as
indicated below, including a full-course senior exercise.
- Russian 44 or its equivalent.
- Eight core courses, including two courses from each
of the three divisions listed below and in addition two
more courses from among those listed in any division. For
additional courses in these categories, see Associate
Courses listed at the end of this section. At least five
of these eight courses must be taken at Pomona College
unless special permission is granted in advance and
approved by the Major Chair.
- Arts and Humanities (Russian 79, 80, 100, 103, 104,
105, 110, 111, 176, 178, 180, 181, 183, Music 54,
Philosophy 63, Theatre 115G).
- History and Cultural History (81, 103, 111, 179,
History 71, History 89, History 129, History 179).
- Social Sciences (182, Economics 119, Economics
125).
- A one-semester senior exercise (191). This is to be
an investigation of some aspect of Russian and East
European Studies under the supervision of a committee of
three faculty members. It is essential that students
consult with the faculty and form their supervisory
committee before the last day of classes of the junior
year. The senior exercise is to lead to a series of papers
or a single thesis. The senior exercise may be pursued in
the first or second semester of the senior year, and must
be completed by the last day of classes of the first
semester, and by the end of the next-to-last week of
classes of the second semester.
