About

Overview The requirements for the Russian major offered by Carleton College are flexible enough to allow students to focus on a particular area of interest within the field of Russian studies.While some choose a traditional literature major and take at least one 200-level course in literary critical methods, other students may choose to pursue advanced course work in such fields as history, anthropology, linguistics, and art history, applying methodologies from those (or other) disciplines to their specialization within the study of Russian area studies.Key facts:Recent events have demonstrated (once again) the need for the world, and Americans in particular, to pay more attention to Russia and to look deeper into Russian society and culture. While a career in Russian studies may not be your goal, knowledge of Russian language and experience living in Russia will certainly set you apart from other candidates for a job or a fellowship or graduate schools.Most students who study Russian at Carleton have no previous experience with the language. We employ a multi-skill approach to cover fundamental communicative skills and basic Russian grammar. Students are introduced to a wide range of historical and cultural texts, as well as multimedia materials such as film, popular music, and television. Students can take Russian to fulfill the general language requirement, and may go on to earn a minor in Russian. The department also offers literature and film courses in translation, with no prerequisites. I want to find another Bachelor Course

Russian students don’t just gain a thorough mastery of the language. Each student is also able to focus on a particular area of interest. Some choose a traditional literature major. Others pursue advanced coursework in such fields as history, sociology, or cinema. The Russian program is offered at Carleton College.
