The minor in Slavic and East European Cultures consists of a minimum of five courses in any aspect of Slavic/East European language, literature, or culture. The first two semesters of any language may not be counted toward this minor (for example, CZCH 401/402, PLSH 401/402, HUNG 401/402, RUSS 101/102, SECR 401/402).

The minor in Russian Culture consists of a minimum of five courses in any aspect of Russian language, literature, or culture. The first two semesters of Russian (i.e., RUSS 101/102) may not be counted toward this minor.

Students who participate in a Study Abroad program in Russia or another East European country can earn some of the credit for either of these minors during their stay, subject to Department approval.
