RANEPA's internal regulation describes higher-education program development, including broad bachelor programs and profile-oriented training.
It confirms an institutional framework for pathway choice in part of the portfolio, but not a universal model across all Moscow bachelor programs.
- Regulation on elective and optional disciplines https://www.ranepa.ru/upload/doc/prikazy-ranhigs/Pologenie_o_realizasii_distsiplin_po_vibory_EP.pdf
Official regulation separates elective disciplines from optional disciplines in degree programs.
Used to assess only the required study path: optional courses are not counted as evidence of free course choice.
- RANEPA ISSU curricula https://igsu.ranepa.ru/studentam/uchebnye-plany/
Official page of a Moscow RANEPA institute with bachelor, master, and doctoral curricula.
Reviewed 2024 full-time bachelor curricula in economics, public administration, territorial development, and journalism.

The 2024 full-time curriculum names the profile as Regional Economics, a multiprofile bachelor program.
The plan contains many alternative discipline blocks within the program; separately listed optional disciplines are excluded from the baseline flexibility assessment.
- Curriculum: Effective Public Administration https://igsu.ranepa.ru/upload/igsu/uch_plan/2024/bak/38.03.04%20%D0%AD%D0%93%D0%A3%202024%20%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F%20%D0%9E%D0%A1%20%D0%92%D0%9E%202.0.plx.xlsx
The 2024 full-time curriculum represents the fixed profile Effective Public Administration.
Available choice appears as predefined alternative disciplines inside the curriculum, not as a free university-wide course pool.
- Curriculum: Business Journalism https://igsu.ranepa.ru/upload/igsu/uch_plan/2024/bak/42.03.02%20%D0%94%D0%96%202024%20%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F%20%D0%9E%D0%A1%20%D0%92%D0%9E%202.0.plx.xlsx
The 2024 full-time Business Journalism curriculum was used as an example of a non-multiprofile Moscow program.
The plan confirms limited choice through fixed alternatives and a separate optional-discipline block.
