When you pursue a degree with REEI, you will have many opportunities to explore your options for overseas study. We encourage our students to travel to regions of interest—to engage in coursework, deepen their knowledge base, fulfill an internship, and make valuable life and career connections. Many of our students come from other parts of the world. The connections you make on the IU campus also enrich your understanding of the cultures of Russia and Eastern Europe.

We also encourage students to participate in internships either domestically or abroad during their course of study.
