Annual Census of College Russian, other Slavic, and EE lang. programs

[Kevin Moss]

I'm curious if anyone else experienced a drop in enrollments this year.

At Middlebury we have the lowest enrollments in First Year Russian (17) in some 10 years. I had thought we were out of the slump for good!

I'm curious as to whether our numbers are a result of internal factors (opening an additional section of Arabic / not offering a first year seminar)
or external (Russia out of the news, eclipsed by the Arab Spring).

We are requesting current college and university enrollments now that the semester is underway and class numbers have, for the most part, stabilized.   Hopefully, things have settled down for the fall semester, and we'd appreciate it if an appropriate representative of your institution's  program would take a couple of minutes to help us follow and publish the national trends in our discipline.   Last year's data reflected stability and some growth in enrollments--we need to know if this trend is continuing.

Over 80 institutions responded last year, and their data is now available on the website (just click on the website address below to get to the home page and the College/University enrollment data).  Along with Russian enrollments, we will list those additional languages; and if  the data are provided, the enrollments at the first and 2nd year levels in those languages.

Each year, CCPCR provides a national overview of the extent and trends of offerings in Slavic and EE languages which emerges from the running comparison of college and university enrollment responses.
