Applications are still being accepted for the 3 week, three credit summer course, Russian Culture in Context taught for one week at Villanova and for two weeks in Russia. The deadline is February 25, 2011. This is a wonderful opportunity to visit and to study at two of the most exciting cities in the world, Moscow and St. Petersburg, while earning Villanova credits. Moreover, you will be back at home on May 29th, so you still can study, work, or take your summer vacation.

The course serves as one general elective. It also fulfills Diversity 3 requirement and Russian Area Studies elective. The course is taught in English and open to all students. Knowledge of Russian is not required. This program starts May 9th on Villanova’s campus and on May 14th the group will leave for Moscow. We will spend approximately one week in each city.
