Russian MinorGerman, Nordic, Slavic & Dutch
College of Liberal Arts
Russian is the native language of some 150 million citizens of the Russian Federal Republic and of a very large population of emigres in other countries around the world, including the United States. Russian minors study the spoken language as well as the literature and culture of Russia. The wealth of the Russian cultural heritage in literature, visual art, theater, opera, instrumental music, and ballet is enormous.
Russian minors have the opportunity to use their language skills and cultural awareness in a broad variety of settings in both Russia and the United States. Students go on to work in business as financial and policy analysts for American and Russian companies. They work for non-governmental organizations, for publishing houses, for the print and broadcast media. They teach in Russian schools, and are employed in fields such as marketing, advertising, aerospace, and computer engineering.
