Preparing for the Major

Students interested in Slavic Languages and Literatures should begin by taking first-year or taking the Language Center placement examination for a Slavic language to demonstrate their fluency. First-Year language coursework (RUSSLANG 1, 2, & 3, or 1A & 2A, or equivalent) are prerequisites, and will not count toward the major units requirement.

Early in their studies, it is recommended that students take introductory courses in literature, language, or the humanities to build a foundation in literary traditions, theory, and languages.

To plan their course of study, including electives and any thematic or regional focus, students should consult the department's Program Worksheet, available from the DLCL Undergraduate Student Services Officer opens in a new tab, and discuss it with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS).

Declaring the Major

To declare, students should complete their preferred subplan's Slavic Languages and Literatures declaration worksheet opens in a new tab, meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) for approval, and then declare via Axess.

Once approved by the department Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS), submit the completed and signed worksheet to the DLCL Undergraduate Student Services Officer opens in a new tab via email.

Note: The major subplans appear on the transcript but not the diploma, which displays the major Slavic Languages and Literatures.
