< College of Liberal Arts and SciencesRussian Language and Literature
Russian is spoken by some 250 million people and is used by many more in Russia and the countries of Eastern Europe. Russian is now second only to English as the language of science, and it is also the language of one of the world's great literatures. Persons trained in Russian normally find employment in teaching, governmental service, journalism, and research in many areas. Many students majoring in other fields find it useful to learn Russian as a valuable research tool. This major is sponsored by the Department of Slavic Languages and Literature.
