russian enrollment statistics

[Ivliyeva, Irina]

Sasha (and SEELANGStsy),

 I am happy to share our numbers at Missouri University of Science and Technology:

 Fall 2012
18 in first-year Russian 
8 in second-year Russian 
5 in third-year Russian

 Fall 2011
17 in first-year Russian 
11 in second-year Russian 
4 in third-year Russian

 Fall 2010
23 in first-year Russian 
7 in second-year Russian 
3 in third-year Russian

Fall 2009
20 in first-year Russian 
7 in second-year Russian 
3 in third-year Russian

The first- and second-year numbers  have been stable for the past 5 years,  going up by about 50 % over the last decade.
Please note:  Missouri S&T offers only the Minor in Russian (no Major!). I am the only  Russian instructor in charge of the program since 1997 and as such I teach all classes at all levels.

Best,
Irina Ivliyeva

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.
