Each semester the syllabus and plans of study are reviewed for all courses and tailored to meet strict academic guidelines, both Western and Russian, to ensure the highest possible quality of instruction. Students planning to take elective courses in Russian should be aware that they will need to take a basic language proficiency exam upon arrival in Moscow. Students studying language will also be given an exam, for sectioning purposes.
Students are welcome to petition to be moved into more or less-advanced sections.
