About the Program
Russian is an important world language and Russia has a rich culture which is notably different from that of Western Europe. The Russian Program offers courses in Russian language from first through fourth year, as well as courses in Russian literature, Russian linguistics, and Russian civilization and culture. Click here to see a list of courses which will be offered in the coming semester.
The Purdue Russian Program extends outside the classroom as well. We hold a weekly tea hour that allows students from all levels of Russian to meet, play games and practice their Russian in informal conversation. Sometimes international students from Russia or other Russian-speaking countries come too, which provides an opportunity for wider cultural contact. There is also the Russian Club (a student organization), which holds a variety of different activities of interest.
