I just wondered if given the heavy emphasis on Russian studies that you posted in that curriculum, whether a graduate of a Greek seminary would come away with the same theology, "close enough"

The theology is no different. By definition, in order for one bishop to be in communion (literally speaking, Eucharistic communion) with another bishop is for the two bishops to recognize that both of them teach the same theology the Church taught everywhere and awlays, just as the Apostles taught the same faith, thereby assuring Apostolic Succession.

Just as the Christian Canon was established by the same process of concordance (concensus) among the Fathers of the Church, assuring us that all that is the New Testament is the word of our Lord Jesus Christ, taught by the Apostles.

Thank you also. Kolo had the same answer. I think it's really interesting that two seminaries that focus so much on different cultures and languages come away with the exact same theology.
