We recommend study abroad fall or spring of junior year. Generally, this semester will fulfill the advanced language requirement as well as at least one of the REES electives. If a student elects not to study abroad, they should take language, a REES elective, and any other electives to fulfill requirements in the College.

7

The Advanced Language course may be RUSS 301L, RUSS 302L, or RUSS 401L, or fulfilled by language study abroad.

8

We recommend taking language all four years to achieve proficiency. If a student elects not to take language every semester, the course can be replaced with an elective.
