Russian Studies Minor

Location(s): Main Campus


A minimum of six courses are required for the minor in Russian Studies with a language and literature concentration. All students are required to gain language proficiency to the level of RUSS 204  or equivalent; in addition, all students must take RUSS 321  or RUSS 341  and RUSS 110 . A Russian studies minor with an area studies concentration is also available. For details, see the undergraduate director.

Education Abroad

Students with some proficiency in Russian are encouraged to attend an education-abroad program in Russia for a summer, semester or academic year. In most cases, these programs will help students make progress toward the minor or the major.

NOTE: Students who have previously been convicted of a felony are advised that this may impede their ability to study abroad. Students who have concerns about such matters are advised to contact the office of International Education and Global Initiatives.
