The School of Russian and Asian Studies (SRAS) provides the
opportunity to gain in-depth Russian language study and insight into
the unique geo-political and historical identity of the Ukraine.
Students have a program core of intensive language study and cultural
immersion, combined with courses covering subjects from culture and
history to politics and economics.
