IAUNRC Courses

Since IAUNRC is not a degree granting entity, we do not offer courses through our office. However, the list below are courses that we relate to the area and issues related to Inner Asian and Uralic studies. The wide array of courses available each semester will vary from year to year. Some courses are offered on a regular cycle, while others may be a one-time special topics course. The list below provides students with an idea of what IU offers on a regular basis, as well as a list of special topics that have been offered in the past or are currently being offered. Language courses are listed separately from non-language courses. Note that summer language courses are part of the Summer Workshop in Slavic, East European and Central Asian Languages.
