Russian Studies Minor


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Interdisciplinary Majors and Minors

Advisor: Andrei Korobkov, Department of Political Science

The Russian Studies minor is designed to increase students’ knowledge and understanding of the politics, history, geography, culture, and language of Russia and Eastern Europe.

The minor consists of 18 semester hours. No course may be counted for both major and minor credit. Students must abide by policies (including prerequisites) and prohibitions established by their departments in their major fields. A student may take no more than 6 hours in a single department (9 in Political Science) unless he/she surpasses the required 18 hours (Study Abroad programs in Russia, the post-Soviet state, or Eastern Europe or the Special Topics courses dealing with that region will not count toward this limit).

Interdisciplinary Minors


Interdisciplinary minors require the student to complete a minimum of 15 to 21 hours from a list of specific courses. Unless otherwise noted, a student may take no more than 6 hours of courses from a single department until he or she surpasses the required minimum number of hours necessary for completing the minor. Exceptions to this rule may be found within the discussions of several of the minors. In most cases, a student is also limited to just 3 hours of credit toward the minor in the same department or discipline in which he or she is taking a major. Except for the Paralegal Studies minor, no course may be counted both for major and minor credit. Students must fulfill all departmental prerequisites for any course within an interdisciplinary minor. In some cases, advisors may approve course substitutions within these program requirements.
