Russian

The Minor in Russian Area Studies provides students with an interdisciplinary approach to the language, culture, history, politics, and environmental aspects of the Russian Federation (and of its predecessor states, including the Soviet Union). The minor will serve students who are majoring in fields where global and cross-cultural awareness are especially valuable, such as business, political science, nursing, health services, and social work; in such humanities-based fields as music, art, and literature; and in related multimedia fields. Russian language is not a requirement for the minor.
