The American Councils are pleased to offer the Advanced Russian Language and Area Studies Program (RLASP) coursework by way of distance learning.

The academic program features daily online (synchronous and asynchronous) instruction that focuses on developing language skills in speaking, reading, listening, grammar, and writing, and through regional studies coursework on history and culture. It also includes regular assignments outside of class, which expand upon the activities covered in online classes.
