Description

The Russian Far East puts you at the conflux of powers rising and risen. Vladivostok is where Russia's energy meets the manufacturing power of China, the technology of Japan, the ingenuity of South Korea, and the North Korean wild card. This eastern matrix will be of growing importance in the coming decade not only as an increasing and interdependent economic powerhouse, but also as a complex geopolitical and military puzzle.

Highlights

The Russian Far East is for audacious students looking to understand an important part of Russia that few understands or even know about. This program mixes Russian language with history, economy, history, and international relations. It will also place you face-to-face to local students to discuss their perceptions of their homelands, their hopes for the future, and their concerns for the present. You'll gain a wider, fuller, first-hand perspective on Russia and geopolitics for your future in government, business, or academia. Stay for an optional second semester for continued language study and hands-on learning.
