The Russian Studies Program exposes students to the depth and diversity of Russian culture through encounters with the Federation's three largest cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Nizhni Novgorod.
Students are offered three seminar courses:
Students receive instruction in the Russian language, choosing either four or six semester hours of language coursework. For those choosing four hours of Russian, a seminar course, International Relations and Business in Russia, is available.
The majority of the semester is spent in Nizhni Novgorod, where students complete intensive language instruction, participate in service learning, and live with a Russian family.
Additionally, students study in Moscow, the heart of both medieval and modern Russia, and the intriguing city of St. Petersburg, the Russian “window to the West.”
