slavics enrollment statistics

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

The most comprehensive data in the field are those collected periodically by MLA/ADFL.  You can get those by download from the web at www.adfl.org (look for reports).  I think the last year they have statistics for is 2002.  Russian is definitely one of the languages they ask about, but I don't think they have been asking about Ukrainian (or that they report data on Ukrainian separately from a group of other less commonly taught languages not broken dodwn by language.)

You may also look at the data reported to the CCPCR at 

http://www.american.edu/research/CCPCR/index.html

Just a reminder to all SEELANGers:  the data at CCPCR are only as good as we make them by reporting our own statistics on an annual basis.

With best wishes to all,

Ben Rifkin

Dear All:
  here's a deceptively simple question: how many students are enrolled in the study of Russian and Ukrainian language/lit (or at least in the study of a Slavic language/lit) as their major or minor at any given time in the US? I tried AATSEL, but they don't have a centralized statistics, only numbers for some colleges. 
   
  I will be grateful for any ideas or references to net resources.
   
  Thank you,
   
  Nina Shevchuk-Murray
