The programs in Slavic languages and literatures focus on
the study of the languages, literatures, cultures, and civilizations
of the Slavic people who inhabit almost all of Eastern Europe.
The program in Lithuanian studies represents the Baltic component
of the department. A wide selection of courses in Lithuanian,
Polish, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian provides the student
interested in Slavic or Lithuanian studies with several options:
1. to fulfill the foreign language requirement
2. to fulfill the course distribution requirement in humanities
3. to minor in Polish, Russian, or Lithuanian studies
4. to major in Russian or Polish in order to earn the Bachelor
of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences with
majors in Russian or Polish.
A baccalaureate degree in Russian or Polish, or a minor
in Russian, Polish, and Lithuanian studies combined with
another major, provides important language skills and a
solid understanding of Slavic and Baltic cultures. These
are a strong asset for many jobs in federal, state, and
city agencies, the armed forces, and national security establishments;
in banks and businesses dealing with Eastern Europe; in
publishing and data-gathering companies; in transportation
and tourist industries; and in ethnic cultural services
(cultural centers, libraries and museums, ethnically oriented
public media, etc.) and organizations.
