Available fall or spring semester. Founded in 1993, Colby in St. Petersburg offers an intense learning and living experience for a limited number of students (three to five per semester) who take a full program of courses in Russian language, literature, and history, live with Russian families, and normally assist in teaching English classes at the St. Petersburg Classical Gimnazium. There is a full program of cultural activities and travel, all included in the program fee. The St. Petersburg faculty and staff are responsible for Colby students' housing, excursions, and academic courses, and a member of Colby's faculty visits the program each semester. Applicants should have at least two years of college Russian (through RU128).

See Professor Sheila McCarthy in the Department of German and Russian for more details.
