Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Slavic Languages and Literatures
The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures offers three different major tracks.
Russian/East European/Eurasian Cultures
This track offers an interdisciplinary area studies approach. For this major track, two years of study (or the equivalent) in Russian or another language are required. This major track integrates the study of languages and cultures of a large area: Russia, East Central Europe, Southeastern Europe and Eurasia. Students design their own programs by selecting courses offered by the Slavic department and other departments such as History, Political Economy, Geography, Political Science, Peace and Conflict Studies, Anthropology, and others. While all majors in this track will gain some knowledge of the whole area, the program also allows each student to emphasize a specific cultural region, compare different regions, and/or define a particular field of study.
Students are advised to see the major adviser in advance to prepare an individualized study list plan.
Russian Language and Literature
This track focuses specifically on Russian language and literature. It requires three years of language coursework (or the equivalent). This major track integrates the study of Russian language, literature, and culture. Students will learn what defines Russia’s unique place in civilization both in earlier times and in today’s world. Students are advised to see the major adviser in advance to prepare an individualized study plan.
Other Slavic languages and literatures
This track allows students to focus intensively on Czech, Polish, or Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS).
Note: The Department’s Majors are currently under revision and a still more flexible design will be offered upon approval by the University beginning in 2017-18 academic year. Please consult the faculty member who serves as the Undergraduate Adviser (Major Advisor) for updates.
