The Russian Studies Interdisciplinary Minor is designed to give students in-depth knowledge of various aspects of Russian language, literature, culture, history and artistic expression, definable by the students’ own interests. Credits from study abroad programs will be appropriately evaluated and may be included as a valuable part of the overall program.
