Major Requirements
Students may major in either Russian literature and culture or Russian studies. The department expects students in either field of study to have broad exposure to Russian language and culture and strongly encourages majors to spend some portion of an academic year in Russia by the end of the junior year.
To fulfill the major in Russian literature and culture, students complete any seven courses from the language sequence and four courses from the literature/culture offerings. Majors may substitute one related course in either politics or history for a literature/culture course.
To fulfill the requirements for Russian studies, students complete eleven courses: five from the language sequence, Politics 232, any Russian literature/culture course, and three electives from the offerings in Russian literature/culture.
Students may petition to have appropriate Short Term course(s) count toward either major. Students in either field of study have the option of writing a senior thesis or taking a comprehensive examination sometime during their last semester (comprehensive examinations are based on the student's course work).
Pass/Fail Grading Option
Pass/fail grading may not be elected for courses applied toward the major or minor, except for 101, 102, 201, 202, 301, and 302. |
