STATEMENTOF PURPOSE

Instructions for Statement of Purpose

The statement of purpose (SP) is your opportunity to tell us why you want to go to Russia with SRS Program. We are interested in knowing both your academic and personal reasons for applying to our program(s).

Before writing your essay, you should become thoroughly acquainted with the program descriptions and course information on our website.

In writing your SP, please be as clear and specific as possible. For each program to which you apply, be sure to include complete responses to each of the following questions:

1. Briefly reflect on your personal motivations for going abroad. How will this particular program contribute to your overall university experience?

2. What classes would you intend to take overseas, and why do they interest you? How do they fit in with making progress toward a major or minor?

3. Are there other elements of the overseas experience that you plan to take advantage of (paid or unpaid internships, public service, other extracurricular activities, etc)? If so, please elaborate.

If you are applying to multiple programs, your SP should provide thoughtful responses to the questions above as they apply to each location. Keep in mind that different reviewers will be reading the same SP, so please be sure to address each of the programs to which you apply in a complete manner.

Because some applicants will be applying to multiple programs, we expect the length of SPs to vary. If you are applying to one program, please do not exceed 1000 words; if applying to two programs, please do not exceed 1500 words.
