<p>I am currently taking Russian this year and will have studied abroad in Russia by this Fall. I am looking at transferring to UNC but was wondering if it offered any high level Russian classes. Any information is appreciated.</p>
<p>Wasn’t the Russian dept. mentioned in the DTH on Friday? Something about department cuts, and merging it with some other dept.? I don’t remember the details, but maybe UNC is not the best place to transfer to, to study Russian, under the circumstances.</p>

<p>heres that article, so its not eliminated just reduced :(</p>
<p>UNC-CH is still a designated National Rsource Center in Russian & East European Studies.
Here’s a list of schools with such centers:

<p>If I’m not mistaken, I believe that Duke and UNC share some resources in this area, and might possibly allow some cross-registration. </p>
<p>Even at some of the best schools, Slavic depts (and, German depts., for that matter) tend to have a relatively small number of majors. USC even eliminated its major in German.
Mergers between Slavic and German depts have been fairly common in recent years. </p>
