Volga Region Social and Humanitarian State Academy: past and present

Summer is the longest-awaited time, and for some people the most important. We are talking about graduates of schools. It is in the summer that their future destiny is decided - the young men and each girl selects a specialty of interest and a suitable university. In Samara, among dozens of institutions of higher education, many opted for the Volga Region Social and Humanitarian State Academy (PGSGA) earlier. What kind of university is this? Does it exist now? We will talk about this.

Establishment of the University

The Povolzhskaya Social and Humanitarian Academy, which existed several years ago, had a rich history, inextricably linked with the history of the development of higher education in the country. At the beginning of the last century, it became possible to become a teacher through training in specialized universities, which were only a few in the country. One of them was the Samara Teachers' Training Institute.

The opening of the named educational institution occurred in 1911. Later it was transformed several times - it became a pedagogical institute, a faculty of the Samara State University. In 1927 the university ceased to exist. It was closed due to insufficient funding and hunger in the Volga region.

Revival of the Institute

The Institute, which became a faculty, was revived in 1929, because the Volga region needed teachers, teachers. The school started its activity again, but under a new name. It was the Mid-Volga Pedagogical Institute (the future Volga Region State Social and Humanitarian Academy).

In subsequent years, the university changed its name twice, but its profile remained the same. He continued to train teachers and teachers. Only the list of specialties was expanded. In 1991 the university was already called the Samara State Pedagogical Institute, and in 1994 it became a university.

The emergence of the Academy and its future fate

In 2009, the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia decided to impart a specialized profile form to the university. So there was the Volga Region Social and Humanitarian Academy (PGSGA, former SamGPU). The educational organization was considered the oldest university in the region. It qualitatively trained the students and let out from their walls teachers in the Russian language and literature, mathematics, physics, biology and other general educational disciplines. There were also specialties not related to the pedagogical profile.

Now in Samara there is no academy, but this does not mean that it ceased to exist. In 2015, the name was renamed. The formerly Volga Region Social and Humanitarian State Academy is now called the Samara State Social and Pedagogical University (SGSPU).

Acquaintance with modern university

Reviews about the academy and modern university

A lot of positive reviews have been left on the pre-Volga Social and Humanitarian State Academy. Some graduates say that at the time when they were applicants, they doubted their choice. However, with the beginning of the training sessions, they realized that they were in a benevolent and at the same time serious atmosphere.

Teachers, judging by the reviews of the PGSGA, forgave much for the students, but they demanded only one thing - conscientious study of the educational material. In the classroom, the specialists provided the students with the necessary information, tried to explain complex topics in understandable language.

On the modern social and pedagogical university, too, leave positive reviews. Students talk about the presence of a variety of advantages at the university:

• Wide choice of specialties;
• Free places in the hostel;
• Possibility to issue a European application with a diploma, facilitating employment and continuing study abroad.

The modern social-pedagogical university is an educational institution in which the atmosphere of serious science and cheerful students reigns. Is it worth coming here or not? Each applicant should give the answer to this question. It is worth noting only that people who are currently studying at the university do not regret their choice. They are proud of the university and seek to obtain a diploma that interests employers.
