Faculty history

The history of our faculty is directly connected with the opening of the Tselinograd Pedagogical Institute. For the first time in 1962, students were admitted to teaching history. And in 1988 the department of history was transformed into a separate faculty. The Department of History was one of the first departments to be included in the new faculty. In the same year, a correspondence department was opened. Later, a branch of history and the German language was opened.
