Translation question?

[Olia Prokopenko]

Unfortunately, when it comes to academic institutions/departments in the US
and Russia, it is hard to find perfect English-Russian equivalents - when
you know what stands behind the names. Just try translating "Филологический
факультет" into English without missing/adding anything.
The English word "academy" also seems to have broader usage than "академия"
in Russian.
