| What can I do with a major in....? Russian, Central and East European Studies The ACTC program in Russian, Central and East European Studies seeks to give the broadest possible exposure to the history, politics, literature and philosophy of central and eastern Europe and Russia. This interdisciplinary major offers the student an opportunity to become well-acquainted at the undergraduate level with the rich literary and cultural achievements of the area. The student also acquires fluency and experience with the Russian language, or (through the ACTC language contract with the University of Minnesota) with one of the eastern European languages. While the collapse of the Soviet Union and its eastern European sphere of influence has eliminated the perceived threat of a world communist movement, the human talent, residual military power and resources of the area guarantee that it will continue to play an important role in global affairs. Drawing upon the faculty and resources of the five ACTC institutions, courses are offered at Augsburg College, Hamline University, Macalester College, The College of St. Catherine and the University of St. Thomas. In
choosing any major, future career options are an important consideration.
This is a sound liberal arts major that offers considerable flexibility
and career opportunities, especially when combined with another major
or minor in business, economics, history, language and literature, or
political science. As this area of the world undergoes transition from
Russian socialist dominance to democratic market-oriented societies, the
major will offer fascinating career opportunities in government, international
business and journalism, as well as in teaching and research. Students
who plan to do graduate work in a related discipline, such as history,
economics or political science will find the major a strong background
for such study. Students are urged to seek career counseling from their
adviser in the major. Transferable
