Why Study Russian
at Muhlenberg? |
Muhlenberg's Interdisciplinary Russian Studies Program provides a
balanced combination of courses that make Russia's cultural heritage
accessible to students. Russia's cultural heritage is rich with great
literature, music, art, history, and political, sociological, and
anthropological topics, as well as a beautiful language. Students may major or minor in Russian Studies and have the option of selecting a second major/minor within another academic discipline such as English, German, history, political science, international business/economics, or the sciences. Moreover, the interdisciplinary nature of the program allows students to satisfy other college requirements in the humanities and social sciences. The program encourages the study of both the Russian language and the culture in Russia. At Muhlenberg, both students and faculty have the opportunity to explore Russia firsthand at Moscow State University through Muhlenberg College's exchange agreement with the university. Russian Studies is a uniquely designed program allowing students not only to learn about Russia, but also developing an understanding of and respect for human diversity. The program prepares students for today and tomorrow's global community, no matter what career path is to be pursued in the future. Students who complete the Russian Studies program at Muhlenberg are prepared for graduate work leading to careers in teaching, foreign service, international business, international law, research in Russian Studies, and other professions. In addition to the outstanding liberal arts education received as a student of Muhlenberg College, the Russian Studies program gives students the opportunity to focus on Russia and Eastern Europe and helps students recognize the importance of Slavic affairs in the contemporary world. |
