C.V. Starr-Middlebury College School in Russia
The C.V. Starr Middlebury College School in Russia offers three unique opportunities for students who wish to immerse themselves in the study of Russian language and culture. Unlike many American programs in Russia, in which students are segregated from regular university and community life, our programs in Irkutsk, Moscow, and Yaroslavl have been carefully designed to encourage linguistic and cultural integration. Through a flexible and demanding academic program, and with a variety of local contacts outside of the university, we strive to allow students maximum independence in their academic and social lives. In addition to improved Russian language ability, this level of independence allows students to develop practical survival skills for later work or study in the country.

The School of Russian and Asian Studies
Russian as a Second Language
Designed for flexibility to suit almost any need or lifestyle. Study for a week or a year. Choose the bustling streets of Moscow or the rugged hills of Kyrgyzstan. You can take advanced courses or start with the basics.
Russian Studies Semester
This Moscow-based program is designed to provide the coursework and cultural experience for international studies majors hoping to build a professional career with ties to Russia and the NIS. Courses in history, current events, culture and the arts, economy, and politics set the foundation for understanding this part of the world.
The Arts in Russia
A practical program in St. Petersburg for those interested in art history and/or the creation of studio art. Study the art inside the Hermitage and its history and take part in studio classes from folk art to painting and sculpture. Experience the city itself as an artistic statement and as a reflection of its own history.
Russian Civilization Summer
This unique course hosted by Moscow State University addresses history, literature and the arts in an integrated program. Divided into major time periods, the program examines the influences and inter-relationships of these subjects and their connection to the social thought and significant events of the period.
Siberian Studies
Hosted in Irkutsk, this program covers the history, development and current state of Siberia. From an overview of the indigenous groups of Siberia and early Russian exploration of the area, the material then moves to the influence of Russian expansion and Soviet industrialization on the area and finally to Siberia today - the people, ecology, economy, and politics.
Bordertalk: Sino-Russian Relations
This Irkutsk-based program examines the historically turbulent relationship between two of the world’s giants, Russia and China. Today, this relationship is just as turbulant, as the two countries interact as trade partners and compete over Central Asia. Explore the history, economy, politics, and languages of both countries.
The Russian Far East
This program, based in Khabarovsk, introduces you to several native cultures including the the Nanai and Evenki, who are working to both preserve their native cultures and ecosystems and develop their region as a modern base for transportation and industry. In addition to studying Russian, you will learn some elements of these indigenous languages.
Language as a Career
This practical course, available in Moscow and St. Petersburg, is specifically designed to turn the language skills of intermediate and advanced speakers of Russian into marketable, professional tools. Students will not only study Russian and a professional trade such as translation, pedagogy, or journalism, but also put those skills to work in real professional situations.
