Note that Slavic studies may coincide with Russian studies, so be aware of this as you screen potential choices.

@Crawford9139 , besides the schools mentioned above, you might consider Harvard, Brown, Vanderbilt, UC Berkeley and Amherst. My child explicitly selected a college that offers Russian, so we met many of the Chairs of the Russian Department during our visits. There are other NESCAC schools that offer Russian as well. Please feel free to PM if you have any other questions. Many schools only offer 3 years (or less) of spoken Russian. If you are already learning the language, you may “place out” of the offerings unless you are attending a university that has a graduate program in Russian or Slavic languages. Best of luck! PS Her HS Russian teacher spoke highly about U of Washington, but we did not visit the school.
