The Standing Committee on Ukrainian Studies was created by vote of the Faculty on October 29, 1974, to facilitate the systematic study of and coordinate work on Ukrainian subjects throughout the departments of the University. No degree specifically in Ukrainian Studies is offered on either the undergraduate or the graduate level. Students wishing to obtain a higher degree in a particular discipline of Ukrainian Studies, such as language, literature, politics, or history, should first fulfill all the requirements of the department of their scholarly discipline (departments of Government, History, Linguistics, or Slavic Languages and Literatures). Only then should they proceed to the fulfillment of specific qualifications in the Ukrainian aspect of their disciplines under the supervision of the Committee’s faculty. The weekly, interdisciplinary Seminar in Ukrainian Studies serves to introduce the methodology, analysis, and specific aspects of Ukrainian disciplines. Attendance at the seminar, therefore, is a prerequisite for any further study.
Working in cooperation with the graduate students and faculty of the Ukrainian Research Institute, founded in June 1973, the Committee sponsors events and activities of interest to specialists in Ukrainian studies. The Institute also maintains a research library and publications office. Specific questions concerning Ukrainian Studies and requests for the pamphlet describing Ukrainian Studies at Harvard should be addressed to the Director of the Institute, at 1583 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02138.
