The Minor Concentration Russian has four streams and students choose one of them based on their academic interests and proficiency in the language.

- Russian Language and Literature

- Russian Language and Culture

- Advanced Russian Literature

- Advanced Russian Language

This program may be expanded to the Major Concentration Russian.

Students who wish to follow the Advanced Russian Literature or Advanced Russian Language stream must receive Departmental approval; they are designed primarily for students also intending to complete a Major Concentration Russian.

Enrolment in courses above the 200-level is by permission of the Department only.

The Minor Concentration Russian Culture is designed primarily as an adjunct to area studies and/or programs in the humanities or social sciences. As there are no Russian language requirements, this program may not be expanded to the Major Concentration Russian.

There are no prerequisites for Russian (RUSS) courses in the program. For pre/corequisites and availability of Anthropology (ANTH), Economics (ECON), History (HIST), Jewish Studies (JWST), Political Science (POLI) and Sociology (SOCI) courses, students should consult the offering department and Class Schedule.

Enrolment in courses above the 200-level is by permission of the Department only.

By arrangement with the Department and subject to University approval, transfer credits will be accepted from Department-approved exchange/immersion programs.

The Honours Russian program is for students intending to pursue graduate studies or advanced careers in the field. Students must complete 60 credits in the Program, and according to Faculty regulations, Honours students must maintain a minimum CGPA of 3.00 and maintain a minimum program GPA of 3.00.

By arrangement with the Department and subject to University approval, transfer credits will be accepted from Department-approved exchange/immersion programs.

Students who have acquired language competency elsewhere will replace lower-level courses with upper-level courses. A total of 9 credits may be taken in courses offered by other departments in the Faculty; these are listed at the end of this section.

For admission into the Honours Program and approval of all course selections, students must regularly consult with an academic adviser in the Department.

Honours students, according to Faculty regulations, also must complete at least a Minor Concentration (18 credits) in another academic unit.

Students wishing to study at the Honours level in two disciplines can combine Joint Honours Program components in any two Arts disciplines. For a list of available Joint Honours programs, see "Overview of Programs Offered" and "Joint Honours Programs." 

Prior to registering for each Joint Honours Component, students should consult an adviser in each department for approval of their course selection and their interdisciplinary research project (if applicable). Twelve credits in Russian and twelve credits in the cooperating department are normally taken each year.

According to Faculty regulations, Joint Honours students must maintain a minimum CGPA of 3.00 and maintain a minimum program GPA of 3.00. Departments may require a higher program GPA. Joint Honours students must meet the requirements of both components of their program.

The specific course requirements for the 36-credit Joint Honours Component Russian program are determined on an individual basis in consultation with the student's program adviser(s).

Prior to registering for each Joint Honours component, students must see advisers in the respective departments for approval of their selection. Departmental advisers will only approve combinations that are feasible, given the nature of the research project that would be involved. Students who neglect to obtain prior approval may jeopardize their graduation.
