Small schools with strong programs.

Bryn Mawr College hosts a summer Russian Language Institute open to all genders ages 16+. Bryn Mawr is also the only private school and the only liberal arts college with a Russian Flagship Program. (Note that Bryn Mawr is a gender-inclusive women's college, so some students who are eligible for the summer RLI are not eligible to apply to Bryn Mawr.)

Pomona College offers a well-supported Russian and Eastern European Studies major. Pomona students can cross-enroll with Claremont McKenna College for excellent economics and government courses.

College graduates who are fluent in Russian are highly desired for government and industry jobs. The Russian Flagship Program encourages students to become proficient in Russian and then study/intern in Kazakhstan with funding from the U.S. Department of Defense.
