Key Summary

    About: The Bachelor in Russian Studies offers an in-depth exploration of Russian language, culture, history, and politics. This program equips students with essential skills for engaging with contemporary issues related to Russia and the post-Soviet space.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates may find career opportunities in areas such as diplomacy, international business, translation, academia, and non-profit organizations focused on Eastern European affairs. Being proficient in Russian also opens doors to roles in government and media industries.

The Department of Russian Studies allows a student to specialize in Russian, a language that has various inflections, unlike English. The Department utilizes native teachers, and classes are composed of small numbers of students. Grammar and pronunciation are the foundation of the study of Russian, and they are harmonized through reading and conversation.

In the first grade, students learn the alphabet, basic grammar and conversation. Then in the second grade, they develop a fundamental understanding of reading and writing. In the third and fourth grades, students read and translate Russian literature, newspapers, and magazines.
