Summer Program in Moscow - No Russian Required

[Brita Ericson]

American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS is pleased to
announce an exciting opportunity for summer study in Moscow, Russia. A
five-week summer program, Contemporary Russia offers both graduate and
undergraduate students as well as working professionals an opportunity to
study abroad in Russia and to gain new knowledge and competency in Russian
area studies and Russian language. Contemporary Russia is the first American
Councils program designed to serve participants at all levels of
Russian-language proficiency, including those with no prior training in the
language. Contemporary Russia provides twenty-two hours per week of in-class
instruction in Russian economics, Russian politics, Russian culture, and
Russian language. All content-based courses are taught in English by faculty
of the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, one of Russia's most
prestigious centers for the study of social sciences. Program participants
receive Russian language instruction geared toward their skill level
(participants with no prior training in Russian will be provided elementary
instruction, while those who have completed previous language courses will
attend more advanced classes). Participants are registered for academic
credit at Bryn Mawr College. A full-time resident director oversees academic
and cultural programs; assists participants in academic, administrative and
personal matters; and coordinates activities with the host institution
faculty. Participants live in university dormitories. 

Other program features include weekly cultural excursions, peer tutors, and
pre-departure orientation in Washington, D.C.

Program dates: June 21 to July 27, 2011
