Program Description:
The Advanced Russian Language and Area Studies Program (RLASP) in Yerevan, Armenia is a language-intensive, immersion-based program designed to help participants rapidly advance their Russian proficiency while living and studying in the cultural capital of Armenia- Yerevan.

Hosted by Yerevan State University, the program includes approximately 20 hours per week of intensive, in-class Russian language instruction focusing on grammar, phonetics, conversation, and cultural studies. Participants may join for a semester, summer, or full academic year.

In addition to Russian language coursework, students may choose supplementary history and culture classes of their host country or enroll in Kazakh language courses. RLASP welcomes undergraduate and graduate students as well as working professionals seeking intensive language training.

Program features include homestays, weekly excursions, regional travel, conversation partners, and opportunities to volunteer and engage with local communities in a Russian-language context. All instruction is conducted by experienced faculty, and academic credit is issued through Bryn Mawr College for Russian language study.
