The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures offers programs in Russian and, with the support of the Penn Language Center, courses in the Czech and Polish languages. The department also offers a series of courses for students who have spoken Russian at home and wish to gain literacy and/or improve their language skills or to pursue the study of Russian literature and culture in Russian. Students of Russian at Penn are invited to reside in the Russian House (which brings together students interested in daily use of the language) and encouraged to spend a semester of study abroad.
