Through a broad range of courses in Russian and Slavic literature, language, history, film, and culture, the department aims to give students a thorough understanding of part of the Slavic world. Whether in popular lecture courses treating the Russian classics in translation, surveys of modern East European history and politics, or small seminars devoted to the close study of texts and primary sources in the original languages, faculty members are committed to conveying to students the vibrancy of these cultures, which have been and continue to be central to the development of modern Europe. Students are encouraged to work at internships with charitable and business organizations that have connections with Eastern Europe, Eurasia, and Russian-speaking communities. New York City has the largest Russian-speaking community in the United States; it offers varied cultural activities, Russian newspapers, and bookstores. The New York Public Library is an outstanding repository of Russian and Slavic materials. Students wishing to pursue honors in the major must maintain at least a 3.65 average in all Russian and Slavic studies courses and a 3.65 average overall. Applications for admission to the program should be made to the chair of the department prior to the second semester of their junior year. An honors student must either write a 5,000-word thesis or take four additional courses (16 credits) related to the major and selected in consultation with the adviser. A departmental honors committee determines, based on the studentβs academic work, whether or not to recommend him or her for an honors degree.
