Undergraduate Program

The Slavic Languages and Literatures program offers a major and a minor in Russian. The Russian B.A. requires a minimum of 30 credits and the prerequisite for it is two years of Russian language, with a minimum grade of C-. The minimum number of credits for the Russian minor is 16 and the prerequisite for it is one year of Russian. There is also a Russian Area Studies minor available through the Institute for Global Studies.

Students in colleges other than CLA can complete a major in Russian without having to fulfill the additional requirements for a B.A. degree. E-mail SLL for more information.
