The Educational Standards of the Department of Geology of Moscow State University: The Search for Answers to the Challenges of Our Time

Abstract

The history of the formation of multi-level geological education at Moscow State University is presented. The features of independently established educational standards and curricula at the Department of Geology of Moscow State University are considered. The difficulties encountered in the formation of the structure of educational standards, curriculum development, and transition to the system of credits are analyzed. Questions of the formation of the structure of the educational process in Master’s studies based on the Master’s programs rather than on the profile of training, as in a Bachelor’s program are raised.
