Study Russian Abroad

Study Russian Abroad & Experience a New Culture!

SRAS programs focus on intensive language training and also provide supported, immersive cultural programs abroad. Each location is customized to introduce you to the unique local culture while building your language skills.

Each program is also based in a diverse urban center that provides opportunities to experience Russian culture through institutions serving the local Russian minority and immigrant community.

All of SRAS’ diverse programs allow for language study. With us, you can choose to solely study Russian abroad and or combine your language study with other courses taught in English and potentially earn credit across multiple subject areas while abroad.

"Just yesterday my student successfully defended her honors thesis on environmentalism around Lake Baikal, a project that would not have been possible without the fieldwork that she conducted on her SRAS study abroad program in Irkutsk. I hope to see more such projects in the future and will keep directing students to SRAS programs!"
- Julia Chadaga, Macalester College

"At Stetson, we've used SRAS to arrange all of our student study abroad trips for the past five or six years. During that time we've sent dozens of students on summer- and semester-long programs in Moscow, St Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Irkutsk. In every interaction I've had with them, SRAS has been prompt, reliable, knowledgable, courteous and quick to lend a hand when needed."
- Dr. Michael A. Denner, Stetson University

Warsaw

Perhaps more than any other European capital, this city reflects its turbulent history. Reduced to ruins in WWII, Warsaw is now home to one of the most dynamic economies in Europe and a booming modern culture. SRAS students in Warsaw focus on security studies, diplomacy, policy, and history.

Tbilisi is a lively political, economic, and cultural hub, yet it is still easy to navigate and the pace of life is slow enough that people still stop to have conversations with each other. Immerse yourself in this beautiful city rich with history, broad boulevards, and a diverse mix of people.
