Not available to students majoring in Russian.

Overview

Department or Program:
Modern Languages and Literatures

Russia plays a major role in US foreign policy and, increasingly, domestic politics. Public discourse in the United States suggests that many Americans do not know a great deal about Russia. Courses in this Discovery will help the student to study in depth the history, literature, cinema, religion, folkways, and fine arts in Russia. The courses will provide context as students observe current events in the Russian Federation and the former Soviet Union. In so doing, it will also acquaint students with what most Russians consider the country's greatest achievement: the work of its writers, artists, and thinkers.

Requirements

Completion of 9 credit hours from the following:

- The corresponding ML&L and RUSS literature courses cannot both be taken for credit.
- The literature courses in Russian are mainly aimed at majors, but they are occasionally taken by native and heritage speakers who want to know about Russia and can read the literature in the original.
