Russian and East European Institute 
    
The Russian and East European Institute (REEI) was established in 1958 on Indiana University's Bloomington campus. REEI administers one of the country's leading programs in Russian and East European area studies. REEI has been designated one of sixteen U.S. Department of Education-funded Title VI National Resource/FLAS Centers for Russia and Eastern Europe for the 2006-2009 grant period.
More than one hundred faculty from eighteen departments and schools are affiliated with the Institute. About 250 IU students are pursuing interdisciplinary study of the REEI region in bachelor, master of arts, professional school, or doctoral degree programs. We invite prospective students to read the letter of greeting from REEI's outgoing Director, David Ransel. Prospective students may also email the Institute to request materials by mail. Please include the following in your letter: name, full address, type of degree you are interested in and how you heard about the program.
The Russian and East European Institute is located in Ballantine Hall, near the center of the IU-Bloomington campus. The main office, located in Ballantine Hall 565, is open from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. (U.S. Eastern time zone) on university business days. We invite you to take an on-line campus tour or visit us in person.
REEI is a constituent unit of the IU College of Arts and Sciences and an institutional member of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies.
This year REEI is celebrating its 50th anniversary. We invite you to view our commemorative magazine: Celebrating 50 Years 1958-2008.
