This latest update to study abroad in Eurasia will cover the latest changes to US State Department travel advisories for Russia (see out State of Study Abroad) as well as important information for anyone planning study abroad or travel to Eurasia this summer (get applications in early!).
We are also proud to announce an ambitious lineup of new and updated programs inviting students to study security, identity, conflict studies, ecology, the arts, diplomacy, languages, and much more. Contact us about tiered group discounts for these programs, starting from three students – and about faculty led programs.
SRAS believes that study abroad is more pertinent than ever. For those interested in truly understanding current events, their roots and likely long-term effects, these programs offer valuable insights. For those who simply want to gain global perspectives and expanded world views, study abroad is also one of the most direct paths to achieving those goals.
If you’ll be at Forum or NAFSA this year, contact us about meeting. If you have any questions about any issue affecting study abroad in Russia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, or Poland, please let us know! We hope to see you abroad soon!

State of Study Abroad
Russia's position and image internationally have greatly changed in recent months. How has this affected Russia as a study abroad destination for students?

SRAS Site Visit: Irkutsk
SRAS is pleased to see Irkutsk continue to grow and develop as a premier location for Russian language immersion in a city rich in culture, history, and the energy of youth.
Join SRAS at NAFSA and FORUM
Contact Lisa Horner by email to start your conversation with SRAS! She’ll be happy to schedule a time to meet at Forum/NAFSA, or to schedule a call if you have any questions about SRAS, affiliation, etc.
Continuing Education Abroad
This new program takes education professionals to Ukraine and Georgia. These two beautiful destinations are using rising geopolitical interest in their countries to push for greater awareness of their cultures and histories. We will explore all these things from a local perspective: exploring the countries, meeting with locals, and, of course, dining on delicious local foods.

Russian Studies Abroad (RSA) Splits Into Two Programs
SRAS' popular Russian Studies Abroad program has split into two more focused programs: Diplomacy and International Relations at MGIMO and Society, Business, and the Arts in St. Petersburg.
Updated Cultural Programs
SRAS is currently updating the cultural programs we include in each location to better showcase the unique history and culture that can be found there. Explore Eurasia's diversity in Moscow, Siberia's nature and native culture in Irkutsk, and Odessa's unique historical development under the Greeks, Turks, and Russians. St. Petersburg also offers unique language exchange opportunities.
