The University of Arizona's School of International Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (SILLC), along with the Eller College of Management, School of Journalism, and School of Government and Public Policy, are deeply dedicated to preparing tomorrow's leaders for a globalized economy that demands exceptional intercultural skills.
Today's world urgently needs business leaders who prioritize human values and informed citizens with broad-based education to actively participate in governance and global affairs. Employers seek flexible, innovative professionals with cultural awareness, social insights, and language skills to navigate intricate international challenges.
The Professional M.A. in Russian program consists of at least 33 credit units. In rare cases (such as when a student wishes to explore a topic not covered in standard courses), up to three Independent Study credits (RSSS 599) may apply toward the degree, subject to faculty availability and DGS approval. Typically completed in four semesters, students following the Management Information Systems track usually take the prescribed courses. However, when these classes aren't available or when alternative courses better align with academic and career goals, approved substitutions are possible. Always coordinate with both the DGS and Faculty Mentor during registration to maintain steady degree progress. All Professional M.A. candidates enrolled in Russian-taught English courses must complete readings and assignments in Russian whenever feasible.
