An undergraduate Slavic Linguistics major

[Katherine Lahti]

Dear SEELANGers,

We have a student at Trinity College in Hartford who wants to major in
Slavic Linguistics.  We currently have three specialists in Slavic
Linguistics on the staff and are looking for a model for this major.  The
student will be studying next fall in Prague, next spring in Boston.

I have temporarily come up with the following:
Courses we offer at Trinity:
3 years of Russian
One year of Czech (SILP)
Russian Phonetics: Contemporary and Historical
Linguistics 101

Other courses:
Second-year Czech at Prague or in Boston
A course in an old Slavic language (either OCS with us or in Prague/Boston
or Old Czech in Prague).
Comparative Slavic Linguistics (either with us or in Prague/Boston).
An independent study using Slavic Linguistics and computers. (He's a
computer science major).

What do y'all think of this?  I am especially interested in finding other
undergraduate Slavic Linguistics major programs.

Yours,
Katherine Lahti
