Study Abroad for non-language student?

[Renee Stillings]

To my knowledge, having worked extensively with this department mentioned
for many years, they do not offer the culture/history course in English to
groups. Like everything, it is possible to request special individual
courses, but that gets expensive. This particular department generally
offers Russian language only - 20 hrs/week. They are overall very pleasant
to work with from my administrative (and student satisfaction!) standpoint.

The Center for Russian Language and Culture - at the same university - does
integrate culture and history courses into their standard offering. With
rare exceptions, we don't work with them, so I can't comment on the quality.

Hello,

I can recommend Russian program at Saint-Petersburg State University. They
offer 
culture/hisotry classes in English. This is their web site: 
www.russian4foreigners.spb.ru 
or this is their e-mail: info at russian4foreigners.spb.ru

Hopefully, it helps.
