Description

The Russian Language and Area Studies Program (RLASP) provides intensive, immersion-based language instruction in several of the world's most dynamic and exciting Russian speaking countries. Hosted by faculty from world-leading universities in Almaty, Kazakhstan; Tbilisi, Georgia; and Yerevan, Armenia. The program provides approximately 20 hours per week of in-class instruction in Russian grammar, phonetics, conversation, and cultural studies for a semester, summer or academic year. RLASP serves both graduate and undergraduate students as well as working professionals. Program features include homestays, weekly excursions, travel to other regions outside the host city, conversation partners, and a wide range of opportunities to volunteer, pursue hobbies and personal interests in a Russian-language context. Participants receive academic credit for the program through Bryn Mawr College. All courses are taught in Russian by expert faculty with experience teaching foreign students. Applicants must have at least two semesters of college-level Russian language instruction or the equivalent. Three deadlines are available: February 15 for Summer; March 15 for the Fall academic year; and October 15 for the Spring Semester. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
