Program Basics

Please Note: One Bryn Mawr undergraduate academic unit is equivalent to four undergraduate semester credit hours. One Bryn Mawr graduate academic credit is equivalent to five graduate semester credit hours.

Due to differences in the Russian and American academic systems, Bryn Mawr course titles often encompass several specialized Russian classes. For instance, the Bryn Mawr course Russian 350, Advanced Conversation, Phonetics and Intonation is actually comprised of three separate classes at our Russian partner universities: one in phonetics, one in speech, and one in phraseology. Students’ grades in each of these individual courses are weighted and averaged together in order to calculate one final grade for the Bryn Mawr course.
