Bachelors in Russian

Russia: snow, bears, vodka, caviar, ballet, sprawling novels, revolutionaries, spies, tyrants Russia continues to reassert itself on the world stage, but Americans still fall back on easy clich s when dealing with their longtime rival and sometime nemesis. Oberlin s Russian program challenges students to go deeper as they explore the extraordinary diversity, complexity, and beauty of a country that stretches over one eighth of Earth s inhabited surface. Our approach is at once pragmatic and intellectually adventurous, and we offer both a Russian language and literature major and an interdisciplinary Russian and East European Studies major. We provide rigorous training in the Russian language so that students can live, study, and work in Russia, and we also teach a wide array of classes in translation on literature, film, visual arts, music, history, politics, sociology, food studies, and environmental studies focused on Russia, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
