The Russian Language Institute offers a highly focused curriculum and a study environment conducive to the rapid development of the four language skills (oral, listening, writing, reading) as well as cultural competence. Course offerings are from the beginner to the advanced level (three levels total). Through the highly intensive course work and culturally rich immersion environment, students receive the equivalent of an academic year of college-level intensive Russian in eight weeks.
The program draws participants from a broad spectrum of academic fields, occupations, ages, and interests. The program is open to students of all genders over the age of 16 who are at the high school, undergraduate, graduate, or post-graduate level. Most students complete the full 8-week program, but a four-week option is also available.
