Summer Study Abroad
- What Are You Doing This Summer? -Every year, hundreds of students come to Russia to spend their summer vacations. Politics, economics, and international studies students come because Russia holds holds vast natural resources and is a major player in world politics and economics. Humanities students come because Russia is one of world's great centers of art, theatre, and literature. Language students come because, of course, Russia is the homeland of Russian and because Russian is used in business, politics and culture in Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and Russia. These students often choose SRAS to arrange that study because we have a wide array of programs, more than a decade of experience, up-front fully-packaged program costs, customizable programs, and lots of satisfied former students who have given interviews urging you to come.
