Welcome to
REALC
The mission of the Department of Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures (REALC) includes the teaching of languages and cultures in the geographic sweep from Eastern Europe to the Far East.
We sponsor a variety of departmental majors and minors, courses in Russian, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese language; as well as other courses in English, study abroad and internship opportunities that introduce students to the ancient and contemporary cultures of this part of the world. During the academic year, REALC sponsors film series for students, and we host a number of prominent guest speakers, research symposia, and other events.
