  They also develop and teach taught programs with strong scientific and applied grounds.
  EDUCATION Liberal Arts program →
  SASH scholars teach students under the Liberal Arts program. This is a modern program in the humanities that allows students to choose their major and minor courses themselves. At the moment two BA programs have been developed and are taught:
  "History" program
  "Philology and Translation" program
  Teaching activity of the SASH departments is based upon the principle of progressive integration of research and education, which allows the students not only to have a sneak peek at the "backstage" of science, but to join the intensive and compelling research work as well.

  SASH STRUCTURE
  SASH functions within the RANEPA Institute for Social Sciences as a separate research and education centre.
  Staff of all the Centres partake in developing taught programs and teaching. The SASH taught programs are not bound to a particular Centre; personnel of several Centres can work under a single taught program.
  SASH, a new research and education unit, is founded within the RANEPA.
  A call for admission is opened for the Liberal Arts BA program.
  The first group of History and Arts and humanities students start their studies under the Liberal Arts BA.
