RES Internships

The RES Program relies mostly on its alumni and on Career Services to arrange local internships for current students. During past academic years, RES students received offers of local internships at the Kennan Institute of Advanced Russian Studies, the International Research and Exchanges Board, the World Bank, the Chechnya Justice Initiative and Population Services International.

Many students make their own arrangements for international internships or travel during the summer. Some take language immersion trips to the post-Soviet states.

Program Philosophy. The past two decades have brought enormous changes to Russia and the other countries of Eurasia. Designed with those changes in mind, the RES program aims to strike a balance between the need for intellectual flexibility and the need for academic structure. The largest emphasis is on the study of Russia, but attention is also given to the non-Russian regions of the former USSR.
