Robert F. Byrnes Russian and East European Institute

The Robert F. Byrnes Russian and East European Institute (REEI) offers an interdisciplinary program designed to give undergraduates comprehensive training in the Russian and East European areas. The university offers a wide range of Russian and East European courses in more than 20 departments in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Education, Informatics and Computing, Public and Environmental Affairs, Public Health, the Kelley School of Business, and the Jacobs School of Music. The program does not grant an undergraduate major, but students can obtain one of three undergraduate minors or an area certificate: a Minor in Russian and East European Studies, a Minor in Russian and East European Studies with a Language Certificate, a Minor in Polish Studies, or a Certificate in Russian and East European Studies. Any REEI credential may be earned along with any bachelor's degree.
