Undergraduate Program

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures offers three concentrations for undergraduate majors: Russian Language and Literature, Russian Language, Culture, and History, Russian Literature and Philosophy. Successful completion of Slavic 51, 52, 53 (Second-Year Russian), or the equivalent as determined by a department placement examination, is a prerequisite for each concentration. Candidates must then complete an additional 52 units according to the distributions below.

Slavic Department majors must receive a letter grade indicator of 'C' or better in order to receive credit toward the major. Elective courses are selected in consultation with the undergraduate director. With department permission, work in related academic fields (for example, anthropology, sociology, religion, political science, communications, film, drama) may apply toward the degree requirements.

Proficiency Notation
Seniors are encouraged to qualify by examination for the RUSSIAN Language Proficiency Notation on their transcript, which certifies foreign language competence. They should contact the Language Center (patricia@stanford.edu) at least two quarters prior to graduation.

Please contact Undergraduate Advisor, Professor Gabriella Safran, for questions or concerns.
