Russian and Soviet Studies is an interdisciplinary program that provides
a broad range of courses in the history, language, literature, and social
and political life of Russia (before, during, and after the Soviet period).
It is designed for students who do not wish to restrict their Russian
studies to literature.
The Minor
The minor consists of seven courses, at least four of which must be
upper-division. In addition, there must be at least one course each
from two of the three following areas: literature, history, and social
science. No more than three of the seven courses may be language courses.
Knowledge of the language is not a requirement for the minor, but it
is strongly recommended.
The Major
The major requires a study of Russian language. It consists of LTRU
1A-B-C (First-Year Russian), LTRU 2A-B-C (Second-Year Russian), or their
equivalent, and a minimum of twelve upper-division courses. All students
are required to take LTRU 104A-B-C (Advanced Practicum in Russian),
HIEU 134 (History of Russia, Ninth Century to 1855), HIEU 156 (History
of Russia, 1855 to the Present), and LTRU 110A-B-C (Survey of Russian
Literature in Translation). In addition, students will take four electives,
of which at least two must be from the social sciences (sociology or
political science).
Students in the major are encouraged to participate in the Education
Abroad Program (EAP) in Russia and to investigate other options for
foreign study through the Opportunities Abroad Program (OAP). By petition,
credits earned through EAP/OAP can fulfill UCSD degree and major requirements.
