American Councils (ACTR) Programs in Moscow for American Students

[Sheila Dawes]

Dear Ludmila,

If I may, I'd like to share the opportunities available to American
students for studying Russian in Moscow through American Councils for
International Education: ACTR/ACCELS. American Councils has administered
 study abroad programs for U.S. undergraduates, graduate students,
teachers, and scholars at universities and specialized institutions in
Russia and Eurasia since 1976. 

American Councils is currently administering six (6) study abroad
programs to Russia, five of which are available in Moscow. Our
longest-running program is the Advanced Russian Language and Area
Studies program: intended for U.S. students who have completed at least
two years of college-level Russian language study or the equivalent.
Intensive language study in small groups; history, area studies, and
culture courses taught in Russian. Programs of study for summer,
semester, or academic year. 

Other Russian programs in Moscow include the Business Russian Language
and Internship program, the Individualized Russian language Program for
Heritage Speakers, the Contemporary Russia program, and the Summer
Program for Russian Language Teachers. 

Programs typically feature home stays with Russian host families, peer
tutors, volunteer and internship opportunities, and cultural excursions.
American Councils provides expert support in Russia; long-standing
partnerships with leading Russian universities; structured, quality
immersion opportunities; a long-standing commitment to health and
safety; academic credit through Bryn Mawr College; and multiple
financial aid opportunities. 

If it would be of interest to you, your students, and colleagues, I
would be happy to send you program brochures on American Councils
Russian-language programs. Additionally, please feel free to browse our
study abroad programs website for notes from current students, updates
from resident directors, and further program details. 

Thank you,
Sheila Dawes
