Beginning and Intermediate Language Series

Our undergraduate studies start with language courses Russian 101-104. Russian 101 and 102 are offered year round in the Fall and Spring semesters. They also fulfill Segment Two, Category C of the General Education requirements. Russian 103 is offered in the Fall and Russian 104 in the Spring every academic year. These courses provide students with basic language skills necessary for the pursuit of a major or minor in Russian. For students with previous knowledge of Russian, these beginning and intermediate language courses can be waived.
