Russian Studies Minor

The Russian program is designed to provide students with linguistic and intellectual tools for a deep understanding of Russophone literature, language and culture. It offers minors in Russian language and literature and in Russian studies.

The mission of the Russian program is to expose a broad spectrum of the F&M student body to the language, literature, and culture of Russian-speaking peoples; to facilitate the further exploration of these subjects as complements to many other aspects of the F&M curriculum; and to work actively to foster groups of students with a sustained interest in Russophone culture all in direct contribution to the liberal education of all F&M students and the intellectual development of our college community.

The department offers two minor programs.
