KU Slavic center to be west's top
The largest center for Slavic studies between Chicago and the West Coast is developing at the University of Kansas.
The Slavic program received a boost last summer when KU was designated one of the nation's 12 Slavic language and area studies centers for both graduate and undergraduate study. The center is supported in part through the National Defense Education Act.
It's all part of a nationwide demand for Russian-speaking Americans, says Professor Herbert Ellison, director of the Language and Area Center for Slavic and East European Studies.
In the mid-50's KU Slavic program consisted of a single faculty member and a handful of students.
This fall, by contrast, Ellison anticipates 310 students in Slavic courses and another 60 students in an intensive 10-week summer program conducted jointly by KU and the University of Colorado.
Eighteen faculty members will teach 59 courses in the Slavic area, including courses on the economy, language, political science and geography of Russia.
The Slavic language courses also include Polish and Serbo-Croatian.
