program survival

[Devin Browne]

Emily's message about the health of Russian programs is interesting,
because it comes on the heels of the messages that hit the list recently
about the development of a Russian Studies major at some institutions.  I
did some reading about language program enrollment attrition a few years
ago and one of the recommendations I read was for institutions to develop
an area studies major which compliments language & literature majors.  I
wonder if this is an approach we should all be looking at to a greater
degree.
