WELCOME TO THE DIVISION OF

RUSSIAN AND SLAVIC STUDIES

Hunter College is the major center of Russian and Slavic studies in the City University of New York. It has by far the largest and most viable undergraduate program in Russian language and literature in CUNY, and it also provides instruction in Polish and some independent study in Ukrainian. Various departments of the Divisions of Social Sciences and Humanities and the Arts offer courses dealing with Russia and East Central Europe.

The Division of Russian and Slavic Languages of the Department of Classical and Oriental Studies offers a rich curriculum designed for students who seek competence in spoken and written Russian and a solid background in and knowledge of Russian literature and culture. The Russian Division also offers a number of courses in a related Slavic language, Polish, and independent studies in Ukrainian.

Courses in the Division are recommended to students from other disciplines who want to master the Russian language as a research tool or who seek to learn about Russian literature in translation. The important contributions being made by Russian scholars in chemistry, biology, mathematics, and other related fields make the study of Russian especially valuable to science majors.

Russian majors find employment in United States governmental agencies, the United Nations, broadcasting, banking, business, education, library services, and other fields.
