Russian B.A.

Students must take at least 12 credits of Electives to fulfil this requirement. Up to 4 credits may come from Directed Studies courses.

The capstone is an individual directed study under the close supervision and mentoring of a member of the faculty. The subject is determined in consultation between student and mentor, who will continue to meet at regular intervals as the study proceeds. The outcome of the study is an analytical or interpretive essay of not less than twenty typed, double-spaced pages, showing evidence of appropriate use, as determined by the faculty mentor, of Russian-language sources.

Students who double major in CLA and choose to complete the capstone requirement in their other CLA major may waive the Russian BA capstone, and they do not need to replace the 3 credits.

These courses, or equivalent, must be taken in sequential order. In select cases, students with advanced proficiency may be exempt from taking some or all of these courses. See the departmental advisor for more information.
