LANGUAGE PROGRAMS IN ST. PETERSBURG AND MOSCOW

The University of Arizona Russian Abroad (UARA) study abroad program offerings are an outreach effort of the Department of Russian and Slavic Languages, acknowledged as one of the premiere Russian language training programs in the USA. The program offers a full battery of courses, lectures and excursions that provide participants with invaluable training and experience. A carefully planned curriculum includes intensive small group instruction as well as individual tutorials. Courses range from Russian grammar, composition, and conversation to phonetics and intonation, newspaper reading, literature, and film.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS IN MOSCOW

The UA Russian Abroad Internship programs in Moscow allow students to work in a local business, newspaper or cultural organization. Knowledge of the Russian language is not required to participate in the internship program. However the internship program makes it possible for qualified students to study Russian from the point of view of Business Communication. UA Russian Abroad offers language instruction on all levels, including instruction for beginners.
