The minor and certificate programs in Russian Studies are designed for students who wish to develop their language skills to at least an intermediate level and offer an interdisciplinary approach to the language, literature, culture and politics of Russia.
Students pursuing the minor must earn eighteen credit hours of electives in Russian Studies beyond the level of the 2001 course. Courses that will count toward the minor will be approved by advisors. The standard track would include RUSS 2002, third-year Russian I and II and 9 hours of upper divisional electives in language or area studies in at least 2 different Schools (for example, International Affairs and Literature, Communication, and Culture).
To receive the certificate, students must take twelve semester hours of courses beyond the 2001 level.
All courses counting toward a minor and certificate must be taken on letter grade basis, and a grade of C or better must be received in each course.
Students wishing to pursue the minor or certificate should consult with the Language Adviser in Russian and with the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Modern Languages for detailed information on requirements.
