offers the student training in the history, politics,
literature, and arts of Russia with some study of
Eastern Europe, as well as a grounding in contemporary
oral and written Russian. The major is

in which familiarity with Russia and the East European
area is an attractive or necessary asset, or for
students planning to enter graduate school in law,
business, international relations, or diplomacy with
a specialization in Russian and East European
affairs. The area concentration also prepares
students for graduate work in Russian and East
European studies.
