As the name implies, the Russian House is home to Bryn Mawr’s Russian Department. The Russian Language Flagship at Bryn Mawr College was created under the auspices of the National Security Education Program (NSEP)/National Flagship Language Program (NFLP) to address the critical need for U.S. professionals to use Russian at the highest levels of functional proficiency. The program is open to all undergraduates of Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore Colleges committed to attaining professional level language proficiency through an intensive language and culture training program tailored to their professional interests and academic specialization. The Language Flagship brings with it the possibility of financial support for intensive domestic (summer) and overseas study.
