- Students intending to take an Honours program in Russian should note that the sequence of Russian 301, 303 and 361 is recommended by the Department as providing the best foundation for Honours level work in senior courses.
- A background in one or more related fields such as History, Philosophy, Linguistics, and English is considered an advantage for prospective Honours students.
