Russian Language, Literature and Culture

Effective Fall 2012 

The  minor in Russian Language, Literature, and Culture is designed to give students a fundamental competence in Russian language upon which they can build, as well as a knowledge of some of the major cultural achievements and individual masterpieces of Russian literature and cinema.

The intended audience comprises all undergraduates with substantial interest in Russian language, literature, and culture, but with insufficient time to pursue a concentration in this area. Such students might include those who envision doing professional work in Russia, those intending to pursue graduate work in areas related to Russian culture and society, as well as those who may wish to learn more about their own heritage.
