    Courses in Russian Studies

    R S 400. Independent Readings --1/2- 1 course
    Independent readings to be arranged with a member of the Russian Studies faculty. The Readings will have a broad multi-disciplinary nature but will be more heavily oriented toward one of the disciplinary areas (language, literature and culture; Russian and East European politics; Russian history), depending upon the back-ground of the instructor.

    R S 401. Senior Research --1/2 - 1 course
    This course is designed to provide research time and supervision for the senior comprehensive requirement in the Russian Studies for the major. It carries one credit if , in the judgment of the instructor, the student's research requirements will necessitate that amount of time to complete the comprehensive. Alternatively, one-half credit is granted if significant preliminary work has emerged from other related courses.
