The Kolomna Pedagogical Institute, which was renamed the Moscow State Regional Social and Humanitarian Institute in 2010, annually graduates a huge number of teachers, managers and other specialists in the field of education. High-quality training enables university graduates to apply their knowledge in various industries.
University History
In 1920, a teacher’s seminary appeared in Kolomna, which in several years grew to the status of a pedagogical college. In 1939, the institution began to be called a teacher's institute, about 220 students studied there. Initially, the teaching staff consisted of only six people, by the beginning of the 1950s, this figure had grown 6 times.
During the Second World War, the institute continued its work, despite the lack of teaching staff, which for the most part went to the front. In total, from 1941 to 1945, more than 730 teachers were trained, who were very in demand after the victory of the USSR over fascism. From year to year, the number of university students increased, so it underwent numerous changes. In 1953, the institution changes its status and is now called the Kolomna Pedagogical Institute.
In the 90s the institute had a hard time, it was connected with the outflow of students, and with insufficient funding. Only the efforts of the rector in the person of Professor B.D. Koreshkova and his teachers allowed the university to continue its development, despite all the difficulties that he had to face.

The Kolomna Pedagogical Institute, entrance examinations to which you can pass in July, conducts them only if the future student's specialty requires it, as well as in those cases where for one reason or another he did not pass the exam. Applicants can take Russian language, mathematics, foreign languages, chemistry, biology, history, music, social studies. Students entering the specialty "Physical Culture" will have to pass a number of separate exams in the specialty.
