Courses

The Russian Studies program offers two interrelated tracks:

1. Russian language courses
2. Courses in English on topics in Russian history, literature, and culture

All students who have studied Russian previously or who are heritage speakers take a placement test to determine with which course to begin their Russian language study at Washington University. Please contact Mikhail Palatnik (palatnik@wustl.edu) for more information about the placement test.

Courses in English do no require knowledge of Russian and many of them have no prerequisites.
