Diplomacy Signs Agreement With Russian University
Thursday, December 2, 2021
The program will run during the fall and spring and is open to rising juniors as well as graduate students to apply. Students from each institution will be able to enroll in courses at both participating universities, including ones taught in Russian language provided the student has B2 proficiency. MGIMO will offer Russian language courses free of charge to SHU students should they want or need them.
Acting Dean, Courtney Smith commented on the importance of the partnership, sharing, "I am pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with our partner MGIMO in Russia to provide opportunities for student and faculty exchange. International partnerships bring opportunities for cross-cultural learning that are integral not only to the student experience, but to academic progress and the relationship between our nations."
Faculty may also participate in the exchange through the instruction of courses at the other participating university and mutual research opportunities.
This is not the first MOU signed between the two schools. The School of Diplomacy has a long connection with MGIMO but is looking forward to a more active partnership and exchange in the future.
