The dramatic transformation in Russia and Eastern Europe has produced new and exciting opportunities in fields from business and law to science and technology. The Russian Studies program at R-MWC prepares students to benefit from these new opportunities. Survey courses in Russian culture and literature, taught in English, present a comprehensive view of the Slavic world and life. A varied program of cocurricular activities enriches the classroom study of Russian. R-MWC is the only woman's college in the South that offers a major in Russian Studies and was among the first institutions in the country to begin a Russian program.
Many students participate in internships or study-abroad programs to gain experience in their field.
An especially exciting opportunity is the tour of Russia led by Klawa Thresher every four years. The 1998 tour was a great success for all the students who participated. The R-MWC Career Development Center provides a variety of assistance with your job search or with preparation for graduate school . The Alumnae Network database helps you locate alumnae who have volunteered to assist with job searches, internships, and short-term housing. You may request a search by geographic area, major, or job.
