Russian is the first language of over 150 million people worldwide. It is spoken in Russia, the former Soviet Union, and in many communities in North America. A major in Russian consists of 19 base credits as well as 40 credits in Russian, 25 of which must be upper division. In addition to beginning and intermediate Russian courses offered alternate years, students are strongly encouraged to participate in the CCCU Russian Study program or any other accredited study-abroad program to accumulate the required number of credits and to expand their knowledge of the language and country. A course in modern Russian literature and culture as well as independent study options are also available. Studying Russian language and culture is an intellectually stimulating and enriching experience that can lead to an exciting career in travel, business, commerce, and governmental and non-governmental organizations.

Requirements for the Major
A European studies major/Russian program requires 40 credits, of which 25 must be upper-division, in addition to the 19 base-course credits and the other major requirements listed above. In addition, majors must take HIS 3345 Modern Russia (5).  Students must complete all non-credited and language proficiency requirements found on the Languages department page. 

Since a limited number of courses in Russian are offered each year, majors will need to work closely with the contact person in order to fulfill the required number of credits.

Requirements for the Russian Studies Minor
The minimum requirement for a minor in Russian studies is 33 credits, of which a minimum of 15 must be upper division. Each student must complete two courses from courses with a European studies prefix and at least 25 credits from the Russian course offerings.
