Russian Translation - B.S. Program Requirements
For semester-by-semester course sequencing for this program, view the 2010-2011 Roadmap.
*Students majoring in Russian are not necessarily expected to have some proficiency in Russian through high school study. However, all students with previous Russian study should see a Russian major advisor for placement. Students lacking in sufficient major-level proficiency to take the first major courses, RUSS 32201 and RUSS 32203, can reach it by taking courses in the prerequisite sequence (RUSS 12201, 12202, 22201 and 22202) based on the advisor’s placement recommendation and high school training. Students with sufficient Russian to place into higher semesters are not allowed in Elementary Russian I.
**A minimum C grade must be earned in either RUSS 32303 or RUSS 32421 to fulfill writing-intensive requirement.
***The Subject Area Specialty is a departmentally approved coherent sequence of courses (33 credits) in one or more other disciplines (i.e., not in the Department of Modern and Classical Language Studies). In order to be approved, the Subject Area Specialty must include courses in an area or areas that are currently marketable, such as business, legal studies, international relations, political science, computer science, chemistry, physics or other “hard” sciences. The Subject Area Specialty may include up to 17 credit hours of a different language in the sequence through composition/conversation. It may also optionally include MCLS 22217 Diversity in Today’s Russia. Total credits: 33. The recommended Kent Core courses (see Kent Core Summary) may be included within this area with advisor approval.
