In reveiwing the potential courses for this minor, we have sought to be
inclusive rather than exclusive. With that in mind, we added Russian
and former soviet areas. We have also sought not to focus strictly
on the present (as in the world business minor) but to incorporate
the past as well (for those seeking a more historical approach)
by adding Greek and Latin and related classics.
