Foreign Languages and Linguistics

Slavic Languages
The Slavic Languages program offers course work in Polish, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, and, on occasion, Ukrainian. Through the study of these languages, students gain exposure to the literature and culture of the eastern European areas in which these languages are spoken. The program offers a major in Russian. In addition, the Slavic languages are an integral part of the Russian and East European Studies Certificate Program.

Study of these languages may meet the foreign language requirement of the College of Letters and Science. Students with previous high school preparation in any of these areas should consult with the program coordinator to determine the appropriate level at which to begin their language studies. Course work through the fourth-semester level is designed to prepare students in the four basic language skills: listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. The beginning language sequences are as follows:
