russian enrollment statistics

[Monnier, Nicole M.]

Sasha (and SEELANGStsy),

Happy to share. Our numbers this semester are:

50 in first-year Russian
14 in second-year Russian
13 in third-year Russian

The first- and second-year numbers are marginally lower (3-5 students) than last year, though our second-year numbers were unusually high last fall (20) because of a particularly strong returning first-year cohort.

In general, our numbers have gone up significantly over the past 12 years, from a 30/10/7 ratio of first/second/third-year. However, it should also be noted that our total university enrollment has also increased significantly in that period.

Best,

Nicole

Subject: [SEELANGS] russian enrollment statistics

Dear Seelanguagers,

Our Russian program at Vanderbilt is under a  threat of reduction.  Our department is meeting with the dean next week to plead our case.  My sense is that Russian language enrollments have been growing in the past couple of years, but it would be great to get some statistical data behind it.

Could you possibly send me (Sasha Spektor) your student numbers?  I would compile a small data analysis sheet to present it to the dean with the rest of our arguments.  You can do so either on the list (if you think others might be interested) or off at xrenovo at gmail.com<mailto:xrenovo at gmail.com>

I greatly appreciate your help.

Hope you are all doing well,
Sasha.
