Introduction
Associate Professors Cernahoschi (chair) and Kazecki; Visiting Lecturers Filipovic and Stephenson
Contemporary central and eastern Europe consists of heterogeneous societies with contested cultural traditions. Offerings in the Department of German and Russian Studies investigate important interconnections among history, society, culture, and language in the region. The curricula in German and Russian explore societies challenged and invigorated by change and stress the importance of attaining fluency not only in the language but also in the nuances of cultural understanding.
The department offers a German Major, a German Minor, and a Russian Minor. The department also contributes to the interdisciplinary European Studies Major.
Entering students are assigned to the appropriate level in language courses according to the following criteria: their performance on the SAT II or Advanced Placement Test of the College Entrance Examination Board taken in high school, relative proficiency based on length of previous study, and/or after consultation with an appropriate member of the department.
