Description

Students in this program will be amazed by the diversity in Moscow. It is a contemporary international city with a strong connection to its history through collections of world-renowned art, technological wonders at the KGB Museum, and the multicolored cupolas of St. Basil's Cathedral. Students will attend classes at The Moscow State University, one of the world's most respected Universities.

Small classes provide individual attention, and students have the great advantage of learning from Russian professors who specialize in teaching their native language as a second language. Intensive language classes in the morning (beginning to advanced levels) are followed by afternoon studies in art, music, culture, history, and folklore. At least one Moscow or nearby field trip is scheduled weekly in connection with course work. Excursions students may experience include a bus tour of Moscow, the Kremlin and Kremlin Armory, the DUMA (the Russian parliament), St. Basils Cathedral and Lenins Tomb on Red Square, Stalin's Bunker, the Historical Museum, the Tretaykov Art Gallery, a two day trip to ancient cities Vladimir and Suzdal and visits to Vladimir monastery, Bogolubovo monastery, the Suzdal Kremlin and Yefimiev monastery, the Museum of Wooden Architecture, a day long bus trip to Tula (200 kilometers from Moscow) and Yasnaya Polyana (Tolstoy's estate). Students may also visit St. Petersburg, taking excursions to Peterhof, the Hermitage, Catherine the Great's Palace to visit the famous Amber room, Peter and Paul Fortress, Aleksandr Nevsky Monastery and its Cemetery where Tchaikovsky and Dostoevsky are buried, the Dostoevsky Museum, Dostoevsky's heroes' sites tour, boat rides on Neva.

Please Note: At the time of publication, all students will be required to obtain a Russian student visa. Details will be supplied after acceptance.
