The Slavic Department at Barnard offers instruction in five Slavic languages and literatures, with special emphasis on Russian. The department insists upon a strong foundation in language study, because this best prepares students for future graduate study in the literature, anthropology, sociology, history, economics, or political science of the region, as well as for careers in government, business, journalism, or international law.
The department offers a major and minor program in Russian Language and Literature, Slavic and East European Literature and Culture, Russian Regional Studies, and Slavic and East European Regional Studies, and for this purpose provides an extensive array of courses designed to help the student obtain reasonable fluency in the spoken and written language and a reading ability adequate for interpreting texts of some difficulty in a variety of disciplines. While offering a range of courses designed to give the student a strong general background in Russian and Slavic literature, film, culture, and intellectual history, the department encourages students to supplement their knowledge by taking courses devoted to Russia, the former Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe offered in other disciplines as well. The department co-sponsors and facilitates student participation in region related extra curricular activities held at the Harriman Institute and the Columbia Slavic Department and also encourages students to take advantage of the rich cultural resources available in New York City.
Entering students should see Professor Frank Miller (708 Hamilton, 854-3941) for a placement examination: a sufficiently high grade will automatically fulfill the language requirement; other students will be placed accordingly. Native speakers of Russian or any Slavic language should consult with the department chair. The Department is a member of "Dobro Slovo" (The National Slavic Honor Society) and is pleased to induct its qualifying students into the society.
