Russian Studies
Degree Plan

The Russian Studies Program provides comprehensive training at the undergraduate level in the affairs of Russia and the other nations of the former Soviet Union. The program is interdisciplinary and integrates acquisition of the Russian language with courses in economics, geography, history, literature, government, and foreign policy. Administration of the program is carried out by a committee composed of the faculty teaching the program's curriculum. Because the number of students majoring in Russian Studies is relatively small, the faculty is able to provide close attention to the needs of individual students. This major prepares students for careers in research, teaching, national security and defense, business, law, and journalism, and it also lays a firm foundation for the pursuit of graduate-level study in fields related to Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Students should bear in mind that certain types of potential employers will likely require some degree of graduate or practical training on the part of the graduates.
