Undergraduate Major in Russian
The first thing any student must do is to study the catalog well, especially those pages concerning general education requirements for the B.A. degree, and those dealing with Departmental requirements, in the most current University of Kansas Undergraduate catalog. Note, however, that regulations sometimes change even after the catalog has gone to print, so please check with the Undergraduate Advisor about current regulations. The Advisor is currently Prof. Kerry Sabbag (ksabbag (a) ku.edu); Associate Advisor Prof. William J. Comer (wjcomer (a) ku.edu)
Prerequisites for the major

but are prerequisites for further coursework in Russian):

NOTE: Prospective Russian majors should complete Russ 204-208 -
Intermediate Russian (rather than Russ
212-216). Students who have completed 212 and wish to major in
Russian should enroll in Russ
208 for their spring semester.
Major courses:
The 27 Russian total course hours represents the minimum
for a major concentration.
You may take as many additional hours as you wish, provided
that you have fulfilled all of your general education requirements.
Discuss the order in which you
take the literature and linguistics courses with your advisor, but
you must have at least
three credit hours in each area. In general the department
recommends that students take no more than 2 courses in the Slav
140-144-148-240 series. The department also recommends that the
literature course for the major be chosen from the course offerings
at the 500-level or higher.
