The InterdiSciplinary Minor in Russian
Area Studies complements a number of
academic majors and will prove helpful
to students seeking employment with
public or private organizations dealing extensively
with Russia and associated states.
Russian Area Studies Minor
The Russian Area Studies Minor consists of
20 units, of which at least 11 must be in the
Russian language, and at least 6 from the
departments of geography, history, and
political science.
Students with a major in Russian language
and literature are given credit for Russian
lA-B, and must take 3 additional units of
Russian language and literature beyond
the requirements for the Russian major,
plus 9 units from the remaining four sections
below (Russian and Soviet Culture,
Russian and Soviet History, Geography of
the CIS, Russian Politics), including at least
6 units selected from the departments of
geography, history, and political sdence.
Likewise, students with a major in geography,
history, or political science must
choose their units within these areas so
they are in addition to, and not duplicates
of, the course reqUirements for their major.
Courses taken to meet the CAPSTONE requirement
of General Education may also
be used to fulfill the reqUirements for the
Russian Area Studies minor.

The special major for the Master of Arts
degree is available to qualified graduate
students when there is a need for advanced
study in subject matter that is in-terdisciplinary
and that is not available
through existing graduate programs. In
such instances, proposals for a special
major that may combine cohesive, interrelated
coursework from two or more
departments, must be submitted for the
approval of the dean, Division of Graduate
Studies. Proposals that could be accommodated
by an existing master's degree
or option at CSU Fresno as in the use
of elective courses are not approved.
General Eligibility
The student must demonstrate a superior
undergraduate preparation for advanced
studies and research appropriate to the
departments involved in the proposed
special major. The student must meet the
minimum criteria for admission to conditionally
classified standing in the departments
concerned.
Degree Requirements
The basic requirements for the special major
are the same as for all other masters
degrees. Aminimum of 30 units is required,
and at least 70 percent of the program
must be in courses designated for graduate
study, that is, in graduate-level 200-series
courses. The proposed program must truly
reflect the requirements of scholarly creativity
and research appropriate to the
graduate level and must exhibit overall
coherence in a particular, recognized field
of study. The proposed program must lead
to the mastery of specific knowledge or
skills in an area of advanced studies for
which adequate faculty, library, and laboratory
resources are present.
Although the special major proVides an
opportunity for exceptional students to
engage in a program outside the frame~
work of existing majors, all normal graduation
requirements and standards will be
applied. Students pursuing a spedal major
master's degree are required to write a
thesis to fulfill the requirement for a culminating
experience. For more detailed
information concerning the application
process, the procedures for constituting a
committee, and program for the special
major, consult the Office of the Division
of Graduate Studies.
