Northwestern’s Russian BA propels students from novice speakers to nuanced interpreters of Russia’s literary, cinematic, and political landscapes. Intensive language courses emphasize speaking, writing, and media literacy, while seminars probe Tolstoy’s moral universes, postsocialist pop culture, and cyber-warfare narratives. Field programs in St. Petersburg or Bishkek pair coursework with internships at museums, NGOs, or tech incubators, sharpening cross-cultural agility. Graduates enter diplomacy, energy consulting, cyber-security analysis, and graduate Slavic studies armed with critical linguistic and regional expertise.
