Candidates for the M.A. are expected to take a balanced program including, among the twelve courses, at least two courses in each of the following areas: language and linguistics, literature, and civilization. As one of the twelve courses, candidates must take one Independent Study course (RUSS 6888) on the Middlebury campus, in which they complete the required M.A. thesis paper in Russian. Research for this paper is normally started during the candidate’s year abroad in Moscow, or during the second or third graduate summer at Middlebury.
