Notes:
RUS 101 and 102 are 4 credits each. Students are welcome to substitute RUS courses, at the discretion of the LDA, with courses taken during study abroad or study away (in Russian or another regional language, i.e. Georgian, Polish, Ukrainian, Armenian, etc.).
Non-language courses in Group 1 can count towards Group 2. That is: If a student takes all RUS courses, they should also be able to get the minor.
