Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 75 courses
Each of the two concentration options has a prerequisite, department courses, and a related course requirement. Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a department course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Prerequisite courses and related courses may be double-counted with some other major or minor. Weinberg College does allow double-counting department courses, prerequisite courses, and related courses toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits. This concentration is guided by a focus on 19th- and 20th-century Russian literature. Through language and literature study, students receive an intensive understanding of Russian culture, including political, religious, and cultural ideas.
