The Russian program blends practical language acquisition with cultural exploration through literature, upholding the finest liberal arts traditions. It offers rigorous language instruction alongside challenging coursework in literary history and analysis. The Department maintains that in-depth language study yields significant intellectual advantages. This major effectively merges hands-on language skills with a comprehensive examination of cultural contexts. Students receive thorough linguistic preparation and engage with demanding literary studies. Pairing Russian with political science, history, or other social sciences creates an especially valuable dual-major opportunity. Those who complete the intensive first-year language sequence are particularly well-prepared to pursue this combined academic path.
