The program requires the completion of nine full-course equivalents in Russian (which may include Slavic 355). A micro-focus (two full-course equivalents) in the area of Social Analysis or Linguistics (see departmental web page for details) is strongly recommended.
Students intending to take an Honours program in Russian should note that the sequence of Russian 301, 303 and 361 is recommended by the Department as providing the best foundation for Honours level work in senior courses. Further, a background in one or more related Fields such as Comparative Literature, History, Philosophy, Linguistics, Romance Studies and English is considered an advantage for prospective Honours students.
