    The official page confirms the Russian legal name, the short name AltSU, and the Barnaul address at Lenin Avenue 61.

    Used to identify the main university; branch-campus programs were not mixed into the main record.

  • Altai State University https://www.asu.ru/en/

    The official English site uses the name Altai State University and the abbreviation ASU.

    It separately lists Bachelor's and Specialist Degree Programs, confirming the English naming and the relevant bachelor's/specialist scope.

  • Educational organization disclosure: education https://www.asu.ru/sveden/education/

    The official education table discloses bachelor's and specialist programs, profiles, study modes, standard durations, and curriculum modules.

    Checked examples include 4-year bachelor's programs and specialist programs such as 04.05.01 with a 5-year duration and 37.05.01 with a 5.5-year duration.

    Program rows show common social-humanities, communication/activity, and general professional modules, as well as several profile or advanced profile modules inside a single program.

    Checked rows for 01.03.02, 09.03.01, 38.03.01, 38.03.02, 40.03.01, and 44.03.02 include profile modules, elective modules, and cross-program courses such as 1C, blockchain, AI, Gamedev, Soft Skills, art design, and technology entrepreneurship.

  • Fields of study and course syllabi https://www.asu.ru/sveden/education/programs/

    The official program section contains fields, profiles, and course syllabi, including bachelor's and specialist programs across institutes.

    It was used to check that profile and module choice is tied to published curricula and syllabi, not only to marketing language.

  • Build your educational route: course choice for the next academic year https://www.asu.ru/education/high_edu/news/56805/

    The official 2025 news item says that full-time and part-time bachelor's and specialist students in all fields can choose disciplines, profiles, facultatives, and minors.

    Students rank disciplines, modules, or profiles and select facultatives and minors; minors are described as additional professional modules for an additional qualification within the educational program.

    After institute offices process the results, individual study plans are formed in student accounts, linking the published curriculum modules to a regular choice of the main and additional trajectory.

  • Guide to AltSU digital services for students https://www.asu.ru/education/news/58078/

    The official guide describes Learning Space and the student account as the single entry point for the study process, showing the individual study plan, course syllabi, and electronic gradebook.

    In September, first-year bachelor's and specialist students in all fields can choose a physical-education elective and a course in the Human in the Modern World module when the curriculum provides it.

    Every April, full-time and part-time bachelor's and specialist students can choose disciplines, profiles, facultatives, and minors; minors start from the second year.

  • New functions in the Altai State University student account https://www.asu.ru/news/52633/

    The student-account article explains that the Elective Disciplines tab lets students choose a separate profile, a whole discipline module, or variants within one discipline.

    As an educational experiment for humanities students, AltSU introduced the possibility of earning an additional qualification within the main educational program through minors.

    This shows the development of the individual-trajectory model and confirms that choice covers not only individual electives but also profile/module choice as main and additional trajectories.

  • Transfer to an individual study schedule https://www.asu.ru/univer_about/uslugi/stud_usl/ind_grafik/

    The official individual-study-schedule service is separate from the annual choice of disciplines, profiles, and minors.

    Used as a boundary check: an individual schedule alone was not counted as evidence of academic choice; the catalog classification is based on profile, module, and minor choice inside the individual study plan.

  • Higher Education Monitoring 2025: ASU https://monitoring.miccedu.ru/iam/2025/_vpo/inst.php?id=4

    The 2025 higher education monitoring profile reports 14,787 bachelor, specialist, and master students across all study modes.

    The bachelor and specialist fields are calculated from the published shares: bachelor students are 65.31% and master students are 18.44%. The profile does not give a separate specialist share, so the specialist value is a derived remainder.
