The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality and expected competencies of the undergraduate Russian language curriculum from the stakeholders' perspective. The research method is descriptive-survey. The statistical population of the study consisted of faculty members, undergraduate students and managers (graduates) in Russian language. The available sampling method was 12 faculty members, 11 managers and 106 people Students are selected as statistical samples. To collect information, three researcher-made questionnaires were used by professors, students and managers. Content validity was used to measure the validity of the questionnaire. Using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the reliability of the professors' questionnaire was 76.0, the students were 0.89 and the managers were 0.87. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (T-test, independent t-test, Friedman test and ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. The results showed that other elements of the curriculum were relatively desirable in terms of students other than the content elements and activities.
