Study Abroad for non-language student?

[Irina Shevelenko]

Correction to a previous posting on this subject:

Bard-Smolny program indeed accepts students whose major is not necessarily 
in Russian, but we do require that students have completed, at least, two 
years of college level Russian (or equivalent). Our entrance test is based 
on "V puti". Our semester/academic year program offers 8 credits of 
instruction in Russian as a foreign language every semester, and students 
earn up to 12 more credits by taking academic courses from our regular 
course offerings in humanities and social sciences (we are a full-time 
degree granting liberal arts college within St. Petersburg State University, 
with some 400 Russian students enrolled in our four-year BA program). Most 
of our academic courses are taught in Russian. We have indeed 4-6 academic 
courses taught in English every semester (in various disciplines), but it is 
a very limited choice. We will not admit a student who does not meet our 
Russian language requirement (test comes with our application form), and we 
do not offer Elementary Russian in our Russian as a foreign language 
program.

For the summer program (4 or 8 weeks), we admit students with, at least, one 
year of college level Russian. Academic courses are not offered in summer, 
although we offer three thematic components incorporated in our language 
instruction. All of them are taught in Russian.
