Welcome to the Carleton College Russian Department!
Russian is a language of global importance, spoken natively by 158 million people worldwide. We offer language courses at all levels, plus courses on literary and cultural topics in Russian and English. Majors can focus on an area of interest, such as literature, history or political science, and many choose to double major. Students at the intermediate level and above are encouraged to participate in our biennial Russophone Studies program in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
