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.
