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.

BUSINESS INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS IN MOSCOW

The UA Russian Abroad Business Internship programs in Moscow allow students to study Russian for the purpose of business communication and to utilize this knowledge directly on the job by working as an intern in one many well-known companies in Moscow which receive our interns. Knowledge of the Russian language is not required to participate in a business internship. UA Russian Abroad language programs serve students on all levels. However, introductory Russian lanquage instruction maybe taken simultaneously during the internship period.

Directed by Professor Del Phillips, University Distinguished Professor and veteran of 30 years of experience leading student groups to Russia, these programs have provided an opportunity for over 3,500 students from over 110 institutions both here and abroad to further their knowledge of the Russian language and culture on site in Russia at a time of particular interest and extreme historical importance.
