The Russian Program through Pomona College offers a major in Russian with either a literature or a linguistics track. A Russian and East European Studies major is also offered. Minors are also offered in these areas. These programs of study prepare students for a variety of careers in government, business, and education.

The Russian Program at Pomona College offers two majors: students may elect to major in Russian with an emphasis on literature and culture; or they may choose to major in the interdisciplinary field of Russian and East European studies. The program also offers minors in Russian studies and Russian and East European studies.

Completion of the program prepares students to pursue careers in international development, academia, diplomacy, law, business, and journalism. The program faculty view the study of Russian language, culture, and society as part of a broader intellectual project, building knowledge, skills, and experience conducive to a full, rich, and rewarding life.

To further a comprehensive awareness of Russia’s rich cultural tradition and the country’s continuing role as a major player on the world stage, the program courses are often interdisciplinary in approach, encouraging students to explore literature, film, politics, history, art, music and cultural studies. Associated courses in a range of disciplines at the Claremont Colleges complement the department’s offerings.

Students interested in these programs may complete an off-campus major or minor through Pomona College. See guidelines concerning off-campus majors and cross-registration.
