Also, students are encouraged to fulfill their language requirements with one of the many languages offered in the Slavic Department. For current listings, please check the course catalogue.

Languages offered in the Slavic Department include: Russian, Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Serbo-Croatian, Ukrainian, and Uzbek. ( Please link these to their respective language programs sites )

Students may want to think about receiving a Major or Minor in Russian, or a Minor in Slavic & East European Studies.

For more about these possibilities, please check out the Undergraduates Section of our website. Many students choose to double major with a number of other programs, including Business, History, International Studies, Political Science, among many others.

Others who do not wish to Major or Minor in the Slavic Department find that the language skills that they learned while studying with us are a very important addition to their resume and oftentimes prove necessary to students' future job prospects and/or their own professional or academic careers.

Graduate Students

Graduate Students from all Departments are encouraged to take classes in the Slavic Department to develop the language skills necessary to research in their respective fields. Many students choose to take Individualized Instruction and learn at their own pace, however many others prefer to study in a traditional classroom setting.
