and Literatures
The Major in Russian Language and Literature offers
an in-depth introduction to Russian language and culture. The broad
variety of course offerings in literature, art, and linguistics
provides the basis for a variety of options.
Students who intend to pursue a graduate career in
literary or library science are advised to take courses on literature,
media and culture.
Students who wish to enter such fields as political
science, business, or economics, the teaching credential program,
or a master's program with a teaching emphasis, should study political,
linguistic and social issues of contemporary Russia.
