[Jennifer Kloes]

Dear Colleagues:

Bard College offers a semester study abroad program at Smolny College in 
St. Petersburg, Russia.  We would appreciate your assistance in sharing 
this information with interested students.  The deadline for the Spring 
2010 semester is October 1st.  Below please find a brief description of 
the program.

*Bard-Smolny Study Abroad Program*
Designed to meet the needs of students who have two years of 
college-level Russian or more (including heritage speakers) the 
Bard-Smolny Program in St. Petersburg offers an academically rich 
environment for students from North American college and universities 
wishing to study abroad in Russia for a single semester or for the full 
academic year.

In the Bard-Smolny Program students enroll side by side with Russian 
students in classes at Smolny College, the first liberal arts college in 
Russia.  The program enables students to advance their level of 
competency in the Russian language in our Russian as a Second Language 
(RSL) program while simultaneously taking other academic courses that 
meet requirements for their B.A. degree at their home college or 
university.  Smolny College offers courses in 20 academic areas 
including: art history and architecture, international relations, 
political studies and human rights; literature, music and performing 
arts; and sociology and anthropology.
