Colgate-Mt. Holyoke
Consortium's
Moscow Study Group
The Moscow Study Group is open to all interested
Colgate and Mt. Holyoke students, including those with no prior knowledge
of Russian. The purpose of the group is to live and work in Russia's capital
city and to experience first-hand the political,
cultural and economic transformations of this highly
dynamic society. The program begins in the summer
with a month-long on-site course in survival Russian
(for non-speakers) and conversational proficiency
(for intermediate and advanced students) in Vladimir, three hours from Moscow.
After moving to Moscow in early September, students are housed with specially chosen Russian
families. During the fall, students continue their
language study, take courses in post-Soviet society,
and pursue individually-tailored internships in
Russia-based businesses, agencies, and other groups and organizations.
