The Russian Language Flagship at ��Ӱֱ�� 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 ultimate goal of the program is for all students to reach the "superior level" ( level 3) of proficiency in Russian according to proficiency guidelines.

��Ӱֱ��'s program is one of only eight Russian Language Flagship programs in the United States. It is the only Russian Flagship program located at a women's college.
