BA in Foreign Languages - Russian in Huntsville United States | The University of Alabama in Huntsville

The Russian major program consists of 36 semester hours covering language proficiency, cultural studies, literary analysis, and practical Russian applications. Students are highly recommended to participate in study abroad programs and must fulfill a Russian-language internship, which can be completed either locally or internationally. Additionally, Russian majors need to select a minor in another academic discipline, with the option to pursue a double major or dual degree program.
The Russian minor curriculum involves 24 semester hours dedicated to mastering core language competencies: reading comprehension, written expression, auditory understanding, and verbal communication.

Detailed degree requirements, including Charger Foundations coursework, can be found in the World Languages and Cultures section of the UAH catalog. Students with existing Russian proficiency may qualify for advanced placement through testing, allowing them to bypass introductory courses. While majors and minors can earn up to 6 credit hours for skipped courses, these credits won't include letter grades or quality points.

Russian program participants are invited to join cultural enrichment opportunities. The Slavic Club serves as the primary Russian-language student association on campus.
