It is expected that most students will begin the Flagship curriculum with no prior knowledge of Russian, although alternative pathways will be available to heritage learners and students with significant prior academic exposure to Russian. If you fall into either of the latter categories, please contact the Flagship administrators for a diagnostic assessment.
The Flagship curriculum consists of the following courses:
RUS 1114* Accelerated Elementary Russian or RUS 1105-1106 Elementary Russian I and II
RUS 2114* Accelerated Intermediate Russian or RUS 2105-2106 Intermediate Russian I and II

RUS 3124 Russian for Oral Proficiency
