Arizona in Kazakhstan gives Russian language students a unique opportunity to learn language and experience the culture in one of the most vibrant, successful post-Soviet countries. The key features of this program is intensive Russian OR Kazakh language and culture study in the beautiful and modern capital of Kazakhstan, Astana; an opportunity to engage with local communities and ethnic groups, and get acquainted with Kazakh cultural heritage. During the eight-week stay in Kazakhstan, the students will have weekly excursions in Astana and around the country, including a weekend-long trip to Burabay--the Switzerland of Kazakhstan, a trip to Almaty, a visit to a GULAG camp for the wives of the “enemies of the people,” a trip to the Korgalzhyn nature reserve--the most-northern habitat of pink flamingoes, and other excursions to cultural and historical places of interest. The program offers a non-credited practical Kazakh culture course as a bonus course for University of Arizona students.
