Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures

The Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures (SLAV) offers courses that meet a wide range of student needs and interests in Russian, Polish, Czech, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, and Ukrainian (as well as the languages Romanian and Old Church Slavonic). Advanced language courses are not only for the department's majors, but also for students specializing in other disciplines, particularly in the social sciences, natural sciences, and other languages and literatures. The department features courses in literature, culture, linguistics, and cinema that require no previous knowledge of a Slavic language; multi-disciplinary and comparative courses that reach across the arts, humanities, and social sciences; and specialized courses that lead to four majors and seven minors.
