This minor offers students a broad, cross disciplinary perspective on Russian culture, history, political institutions, economy and geography. It deepens the students’ understanding and knowledge of the Russian and non-Russian peoples of the former Soviet Union, and prepares them for careers in teaching, government and international business.
The Russian Studies minor requires 18 credits with a minimum of six credits of Russian language. Students must take courses in at least three different disciplines.
