Administrative History

The Department of Asian and Slavic Languages (1972-1982) was an instructional unit at Brigham Young University.

It included faculty from the earlier Department of Classical and Asian Languages and Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages. In 1982 the department was split again with faculty reassigned to the new Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Department of Asian and Near Eastern Languages.
