The Minor in Russian

The minor requires a total of six courses, beyond the completion of the introductory through intermediate language program (001-004) or literacy courses for Russian speakers (360-361), or the demonstration of equivalent proficiency. These six courses must include four courses taught in the department, of which two courses must be taught in Russian (311 and/or any course at the 400 level). The remaining two courses towards the minor may be additional courses from the Russian department proper or courses cross-listed with Russian (010-99). With the approval of the undergraduate chair, electives may also include courses of other departments which are not cross-listed with Russian, yet which concern Russia or the former Soviet Union in significant portion of their content.
