Major

Russian language majors follow a track of courses designed to develop their Russian language proficiency and cultural understanding. These courses will focus on language, culture, and Russian life.

Cadets can choose to be a Russian language major or can combine Russian and another language for a dual language major. Each of these options can be taken as an honors program. Language majors also work well as part of a double major with another department.
