Discover Your Major | Page 20

RELIGIOUS STUDIES RUSSIAN Learning about religions means students understand different cultures and develop a more global perspective. Knowledge of the world’s religious traditions is invaluable in a career that requires familiarity with people from other cultures and backgrounds. Religious Studies is the ideal major for those who seek a career in nonprofits and non-government organizations. Religious Studies is the only department at Michigan State University to offer an official concentration that prepares students for a career in nonprofit leadership. Recent world events have only reinforced the importance of studying the language and culture of Russia. Students may study Russian language, literature, and culture as part of a multicultural education or as a complement to a profession in scientific research, government service, international business, or education. The undergraduate program in Russian at Michigan State University is designed to help students develop proficiency in the Russian language, literature, and culture. Most Russian majors study abroad during their degree program.
