Studying Russia at The University of Chicago
The University of Chicago has been at the forefront of research on Russia since the first years of the twentieth century, when William Rainey Harper, the first president of the university, sent his son Samuel to Europe to train as one of America’s first Russia experts. Today, the university boasts more than a dozen specialists on Russia and the Soviet Union who work in fields ranging from literature and language to history and economics. We offer instruction in the Russian language for total beginners to fluent speakers and everyone in between. The popular Russia and Eurasia civilization core, which is also available as a study abroad class at our Paris Center, offers a gateway for undergraduate study.
