The Slavic Languages and Literatures Department offers courses in Russian and Polish language as well as courses in Russian literature, folklore, culture, and general linguistics taught in English translation. Courses taught in translation require no knowledge of any Slavic language or literature, and are ideal for first-year students. First-year students are also especially encouraged to consider our language classes and the following courses:
- RUTR 232 American Through Russian Eyes (spring)
- RUTR 246 Civilization and Culture of Russia (fall)
- RUTR 335 19th-Century Russian Literature (fall)
- RUTR 336 Modern Russian Culture (spring)
- RUTR 273 Dostoevsky (spring)
- RUTR 274 Tolstoy (fall)
- SLAV 236 Dracula (fall)
- SLFK 201 Introduction to Folklore (fall)
- LNGS 222 Black English (spring)
- LNGS 224 Southern American English (spring)
- LNGS 325 Introduction to Linguistics Theory and Analysis (fall)
All Slavic Department courses beyond the intermediate level of language satisfy the Humanities requirement. All RUSS, RUTR, SLAV and SLFK courses at the 300-level and above, and some at the 200-level, may be used toward either major track, i.e., Russian Language and Literature or Russian and East European Studies, but the latter requires courses outside the Department as well. For information on the major, contact Mr. Mark Elson, 106 Cabell Hall. Some courses in comparative literature and anthropology may also count toward the major tracks.
