Russian Studies offers instruction in the beginning to upper-intermediate levels of Russian language, as well as subjects in Russian literature, history, and political science. The curriculum prepares students to communicate effectively with native speakers and acquaints students with Russian culture and civilization, holistically preparing them to function successfully in a Russian-speaking environment. Russian classes prepare students to participate in international experiences such as MIT-Russia.

Russian Studies may be applied to the Russian Concentration, and to the Concentration, minor and major in Russian and Eurasian Studies. Learn more about the Russian Concentration requirements at the Academic Programs page. Information on the Russian and Eurasian Studies Concentration, minor and major is available through SHASS. Advisors for these programs are below. Students uncertain what level of Russian language to take should refer to placement information. Information on transfer credit is available here.
