B. The Program in Uralic and Altaic Studies originated during the academic year

1960-1961, when it was known as a Comittee on Uralic and Altaic Studies. In the

academic year 1961-1962 ta Jt it was transformed into a Program which then dealt, mainly with Uralic Studies - Finnish and Hungarian and area studies. As it expanded a more complete range of courses in Uralic and Altaic Language and Area

Studies were offered, and to-day the Program is probably the most comprehensive of

its kind in the United States, and enjoys a world-wide reputation.

Uralic and Altaic Studies is a relatively unconventional field of study concerned with an area that plays an increasing role in world affairs and

embarces a great part of the Eurasian Continent. It compriaes a field of study which has hitherto been neglected in the United States. This Program now

provides the much needed research facilities for graduate and doctoral students which enables them to become specialized in this field, and meets the growing need for specialists and academicians in this area.

The Program offers a degree of Mafter of Arts with specialization in either Uralic or Altaic Studies. An Independent doctoral Program in Uralic and Altaic will be established during the course of the coming year. In the meantime, candidates for the Ph.D. degree present their specialization in Uralic or Altaic Studies to the curricular unit appropriate to the student' a major interest, such

as , history, Asian Studies, folklore, etc. Apart from these above mentioned degrees, the Program also offers a Certificate in Hungarian Studies

which is designed to stimulate interest and specialization among students who

would already have accumulated some of the requirements towards unkhux another degree.

Although the training and facilities for study and research in almost every

*area covered by the Program are very comprehensive, it is intended toVdevelop ' u

Improvements of past few years:

Since the Uralic and Altaic Program came into existence the Library of Indiana University has built up an outstanding collection of reference works, handbooks, and journaas needed to conduct study and research in both Uralic and Altaic fields. Its holdings are condtanty being increased, to A which end the Library has allowed the Program in Uralic and Altaic Studies a budget of $l,500 semi-.annually, amounting to $3000 per academic year for the purchase of rare manuscripts, etc. needed for research and study in this field.

Indiana University provides excellent facilities'in both a very modern language laboratoriee and Audio Visual equipment.

The Program in Uralic and Altaic Studies also (~if utilizes Indianaf4 University's Cartographic Service. All facilities provided by the University are free of charge . - g 3 (a)
