Faculty of sociology, economics and law

Dean: Doctor of historical sciences, professor Olga Shusharina

History and the Present

Faculty of Sociology, Economics and Law was founded in 1991. Founder and Dean of the Faculty is PhD (doctor of historical sciences), Professor Olga Petrovna Shusharina.

The base of the faculty are university-wide departments of political science and sociology; economics and management; law; cultural studies; philosophy; history. The history of these units began a few decades before the Faculty was founded and their union under the aegis of the faculty allowed concentrating highly qualified personnel in the holistic, powerful scientific and pedagogical formation, which had a force to solve new problems in the field of higher education.

The first area of studies at the faculty was sociology. A new department that arose in response to the need for training of sociologists became the department of theory and history of sociology which integrated experienced professionals and young scientists.

What is now the norm, it was almost a revolution at that time. Faculty from its inception was to train bachelors, when in the higher education throughout the country specialties dominated. In 1993 two more areas of studies at the faculty were established – Management and Law. It was namely then when the faculty of sociology transformed into the faculty of sociology, economics and law.

At the turn of the century the area of studies political science was established. Faculty possibilities have not been exhausted. In connection with the establishment of new areas of training the task of setting up a branch of cultural studies appeared.

Most Departments are university-wide, so students are trained both at the faculty of sociology, economics and law and at other faculties of the university. We also have such characteristic as «releasing» departments, whose experts carry out scientific management of graduation theses. Releasing departments are basic departments of the faculty branches.
