Its founding was authorised through a chain of Soviet decisions taken between December 1972 and May 1973, and it opened its first classes in September 1973 under a plan of five faculties and nine specialties.它的创办经 1972 年 12 月至 1973 年 5 月一系列苏联决定逐级批准，1973 年 9 月开始授课，初定五个学院与九个专业。

The university is known in Russian as Алтайский государственный университет and today carries its teaching across named departments while running affiliates in four other towns of Altai Krai.该校俄语名为 Алтайский государственный университет，目前教学按具名学系组织，并在阿尔泰边疆区另外四座城市设有分校。

History

• A great deal of preparatory work by the Altai Regional Party Committee preceded the opening of the university, since the krai had no institution capable of training its own specialists.阿尔泰地区党委为建校做了大量前期工作，因为该边疆区此前没有一所能够自主培养专门人才的高校。

• On December 6, 1972 Alexander Vasilyevich Georgiev, First Secretary of the Regional Committee of the CPSU, sent a memo entitled On the Organization of the Altai State University to the Soviet Ministry of Higher Education.1972 年 12 月 6 日，苏联共产党阿尔泰地区委员会第一书记亚历山大·瓦西里耶维奇·格奥尔基耶夫以《关于创办阿尔泰国立大学》为题向苏联高等教育部递交备忘录。

• That memo substantiated the need for a new higher education institution with multidisciplinary training, arguing that the region was in dire need of highly qualified specialists.这份备忘录论证了创办一所多学科高等教育机构的必要性，指出该地区急需大量高素质专业人才。

• In 1972 the Regional Committee of the CPSU and the Regional Executive Committee jointly addressed General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev with a reasoned letter asking for a university in Altai.1972 年，苏共地区委员会与地区执行委员会联名向苏共中央总书记列昂尼德·伊里奇·勃列日涅夫递交具名信件，请求在阿尔泰设立大学。

• The Secretariat of the CPSU Central Committee reviewed the appeal on December 27, 1972 and recognised the establishment of the Altai University as fully justified and timely.苏共中央书记处于 1972 年 12 月 27 日审议了这一申请，认定在阿尔泰创办大学「完全正当且时机恰当」。

• Four days later, on December 31, 1972, the Bureau of the Regional Committee and the Regional Executive Committee adopted their own resolution On the Organization of the Altai State University, which defined the practical measures for creating the institution.四天后即 1972 年 12 月 31 日，地区委员会主席团与地区执行委员会通过《关于创办阿尔泰国立大学》决议，规定了建校的具体措施。

• On March 27, 1973 the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union adopted Resolution No. 179 authorising the opening of a university in Barnaul, turning the regional demand into an all-Union decision.1973 年 3 月 27 日，苏联部长会议通过第 179 号决议，批准在巴尔瑙尔开设大学，把地方诉求变为全联盟决定。

• On May 25, 1973 the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR adopted the corresponding Resolution No. 279, assigning the new university to the Russian republic's own education system.1973 年 5 月 25 日，俄罗斯苏维埃联邦社会主义共和国部长会议通过对应的第 279 号决议，把新大学纳入该共和国的教育体系。

• In pursuance of those decisions the ministers of higher and secondary specialized education of the USSR and of the RSFSR issued orders No. 274 and No. 229 formally organising Altai State University.为落实上述决定，苏联与俄罗斯苏维埃联邦社会主义共和国主管高等与中等专业教育的两位部长分别签署第 274 号与第 229 号命令，正式组建阿尔泰国立大学。

• By order No. 253 of the Ministry of Higher Education of the RSFSR dated May 29, 1973, the initial structure of the university was designated in detail.根据 1973 年 5 月 29 日俄罗斯联邦高等教育部第 253 号命令，该校最初的组织架构被逐项确定。

• The order provided for five faculties: history and philology, law, economics, chemistry and biology, and physics and mathematics, a blueprint that fixed the university's interdisciplinary character from the outset.该命令设定五个学院，即历史与语文、法律、经济、化学与生物、物理与数学，从建校之初便确定了其多学科性格。

• Training was to be provided in nine specialties, namely history, philology, jurisprudence, labor economics, industrial production planning and organization, chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics and economic cybernetics.培养设定为九个专业，即历史、语文、法学、劳动经济、工业生产计划与组织、化学、生物、物理、数学与经济控制论。

• The opening of these specialties was supposed to be gradual rather than simultaneous, which shaped the pace of the university's growth through its first years.这些专业的开设本应分批而非同步推进，这决定了该校最初数年扩张的节奏。

• In 1973 the university began training historians, philologists, lawyers and economists, the first four cohorts admitted under the May 1973 structure.1973 年该校开始培养历史、语文、法律与经济方向的学子，这是按 1973 年 5 月方案录取的首批四类专业。

• The following year, 1974, saw the first intake of chemists, biologists, mathematicians and physicists, completing the natural-science side of the original plan.次年即 1974 年首次招收化学、生物、数学与物理专业学生，补齐了原计划中的自然科学一侧。

• Departments for law and for history and philology began to function in 1973 even though the Ministry of Higher Education of the RSFSR had not yet approved them, the formal organisation order being issued only on January 2, 1974.法律与历史语文两所在 1973 年即开始运作，尽管俄罗斯联邦高等教育部尚未批准，其正式组建命令迟至 1974 年 1 月 2 日才发出。

• The educational process at Altai State University began in September 1973, the date the institution treats as its true opening.阿尔泰国立大学的教学进程于 1973 年 9 月启动，该校把这一时间视为真正的开学之日。

• On May 29, 1973, on the recommendation of the regional committee of the CPSU, the Minister of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the RSFSR appointed Vasily Ivanovich Neverov, candidate of historical sciences and associate professor, as rector of the new university.1973 年 5 月 29 日，经地区党委推荐，俄罗斯联邦高等与中等专业教育部部长任命历史学副博士、副教授瓦西里·伊万诺维奇·涅韦罗夫为新大学校长。

• The structure of the university underwent considerable change after the founding period, as new specialties were added and the original faculty arrangement gave way to the present system of named departments.创校初期之后该校架构历经调整，随着新专业增设，原有学院序列让位于今日的具名学系体制。

• Fifty years after the first classes opened in September 1973, the university reached the half-century mark of its existence in 2023.自 1973 年 9 月首课开班算起，该校在 2023 年迎来办学五十年。

Academics

• Teaching is organised in departments covering the humanities, the natural sciences and the professions, a layout that replaced the five faculties named in the founding order of 1973.教学按学系组织，覆盖人文、自然科学与职业学科，这一格局取代了 1973 年创立命令所列的五个学院。

• The Department of History continues the specialty opened in the university's first year of 1973 and remains one of its oldest teaching units.历史学系承袭 1973 年创校元年即开设的历史专业，仍是该校最古老的教学单位之一。

• The Department of Philology and Political Science carries both the philological specialty of 1973 and the political-science teaching that was added as the structure changed.语文与政治学系同时承担 1973 年的语文专业，以及后来因架构调整而增设的政治学教学。

• The Department of Law descends from the jurisprudence specialty admitted from 1973, although its departmental organisation was approved only in January 1974.法律学系源自 1973 年起招生的法学专业，尽管其学系建制迟至 1974 年 1 月才获批准。

• The International Institute of Economics, Management and Informational Systems now carries the economic teaching that began with the 1973 specialties of labor economics and industrial production planning and organization.国际经济、管理与信息系统学院如今承担经济类教学，此类教学始于 1973 年设立的劳动经济与工业生产计划及组织两个专业。

• Economic cybernetics was among the nine original specialties, making data-processing and modelling part of the university's curriculum from its first decade.经济控制论位列最初九个专业之中，使数据处理与建模自创校第一个十年起即进入其课程体系。

• The Department of Chemistry and the Department of Biology grew out of the chemistry and biology faculty whose students first enrolled in 1974.化学学系与生物学系源自化学与生物学院，其学生自 1974 年起首批入学。

• Physics and technology teaching is carried by the Department of Physics and Technology, whose intake began with the 1974 wave of natural-science admissions.物理与技术教学由物理与技术学系承担，其招生始于 1974 年那一轮自然科学专业录取。

• The Department of Mathematics and IT provides the mathematical specialty planned in 1973 together with modern information-technology training.数学与信息技术学系既开设 1973 年规划中的数学专业，也提供当代信息技术培养。

• The Department of Geography adds a field discipline to the portfolio, fitting for a university whose catchment includes steppe, taiga and the Altai mountain system.地理学系为学科组合增添一门野外学科，对这所服务区域涵盖草原、泰加林与阿尔泰山地的大学尤为相称。

• The Departments of Arts and of Mass Communication cover creative and media fields that were absent from the founding blueprint of five faculties drawn up in 1973.艺术学系与大众传播学系所覆盖的创作与传媒领域，并不在 1973 年拟定的五个学院蓝图之内。

• The Department of Education and Psychology trains teachers and psychologists, a mission continuous with the regional demand for qualified specialists set out in the 1972 memo.教育与心理学系培养教师与心理专业人员，与 1972 年备忘录所提的地方对专业人才的需求一脉相承。

• The Department of Sociology is listed among the present social-science units of the university although the discipline was absent from the nine specialties of 1973.社会学系今日位列该校社会科学单位之中，而社会学本不在 1973 年的九个专业之内。

• The university is classified as a public research university, and the OpenAlex index attributes 15750 scholarly works to it, evidence of a continuous research programme alongside teaching.该校被归类为公立研究型大学，OpenAlex 收录其学术文献 15750 篇，可见其在教学之外维持着连续的研究活动。

• Labor economics and industrial production planning and organization were two of the nine founding specialties, and both belonged to the economics intakes that opened in the first year of 1973.劳动经济与工业生产计划及组织是九个创始专业中的两个，二者都属于 1973 年创校元年即行招生的经济类录取。

• The university lists twelve departments and one institute today, a spread that keeps the humanities, the natural sciences and the professions within a single Barnaul institution.该校今日列有十二个学系与一个学院，这一布局把人文、自然科学与职业学科集中于巴尔瑙尔的一所院校之内。

• Biology and chemistry now hold separate departments although the founding order of 29 May 1973 grouped them as one faculty of chemistry and biology, one of several divisions made as the structure changed.生物学与化学今日分设两系，而 1973 年 5 月 29 日的创立命令本将二者合为一个化学与生物学院，这是架构演变中分立的例子之一。

• Mass Communication, Education and Psychology and Sociology appear in the current departmental list although none of the three was named in the founding order, which fixed only five faculties and nine specialties.大众传播学系、教育与心理学系与社会学系均见于今日学系清单，却没有一个见于创立命令，后者只规定了五个学院与九个专业。

• The International Institute of Economics, Management and Informational Systems is the only unit in the departmental list that carries an international designation in its own title.国际经济、管理与信息系统学院是学系清单中唯一在名称里带有「国际」字样的单位。

Campus

• The university is sited in Barnaul at coordinates given as 53.36199 north and 83.72786 east, on the Ob river in the south of Western Siberia.该校位于巴尔瑙尔，坐标为北纬 53.36199 度、东经 83.72786 度，地处西西伯利亚南部的鄂毕河畔。

• Its regional presence rests on affiliates in Biysk, Belokurikha, Rubtsovsk and Slavgorod, all four of them inside Altai Krai.其区域布局依靠比斯克、别洛库里哈、鲁布佐夫斯克与斯拉夫戈罗德四处分校，四地均在阿尔泰边疆区境内。

• The Biysk affiliate places the university in one of the larger towns of the krai outside the capital, extending its teaching beyond Barnaul.比斯克分校把该校带到区内规模较大的非首府城市之一，使其教学超出巴尔瑙尔。

• Belokurikha, the resort settlement of the Altai foothills, hosts a further affiliate, giving students in the southern mountain districts a local point of entry.别洛库里哈是阿尔泰山麓的度假聚落，也设有一处分校，为南部山区的学生提供了就近入学的入口。

• The Rubtsovsk and Slavgorod affiliates serve the western part of the krai, so the university reaches population centres on the steppe as well as those on the rivers.鲁布佐夫斯克与斯拉夫戈罗德分校服务于边疆区西部，使该校触及草原地带的居民点而不限于河谷城市。

• The practical measures laid down in the resolution of December 31, 1972 covered the material creation of the university, which had to be ready for teaching by September 1973.1972 年 12 月 31 日决议所规定的具体措施涵盖该校的物资筹建，而这些条件须在 1973 年 9 月开学前准备就绪。

• The Soviet decision of 27 March 1973 named Barnaul as the seat of the university, and the city remains its administrative and academic centre while the affiliates carry teaching into the rest of the krai.1973 年 3 月 27 日的苏联决定指定巴尔瑙尔为校址，该市至今仍是其行政与学术中心，分校则把教学延伸到边疆区其余地区。

• The founding decisions of 1973 settled the university in Barnaul alone, so the four affiliates at Biysk, Belokurikha, Rubtsovsk and Slavgorod record a later widening of its physical presence across Altai Krai.1973 年的创办决定只把大学定于巴尔瑙尔一地，因此比斯克、别洛库里哈、鲁布佐夫斯克与斯拉夫戈罗德四处分校记录了其校舍后来向整个阿尔泰边疆区的扩展。

• Field teaching in geography, biology and chemistry can draw on the landscapes of the krai itself, the western steppe belt around Rubtsovsk and Slavgorod and the Altai foothills around Biysk and Belokurikha.地理、生物与化学的野外教学可依托边疆区自身的地貌，即鲁布佐夫斯克与斯拉夫戈罗德一带的西部草原，以及比斯克与别洛库里哈一带的阿尔泰山麓。

Reputation

• In the QS World University Rankings 2027 Altai State University is placed in the 901-950 band, tied with the other institutions published in that range.在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中，阿尔泰国立大学位列第 901-950 位区间，与该区间内其他院校并列。

• The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2027 place the university in the 1801-2000 band, a lower position than its QS range of the same year.2027 年泰晤士高等教育世界大学排名把该校置于 1801-2000 位区间，名次低于同年 QS 区间。

• Altai State University does not appear in the 2026-2027 US News Best Global Universities rankings, nor in the 2026 Shanghai Ranking (ARWU) main list of the world's top 1000 institutions.阿尔泰国立大学未进入 2026-2027 年度 US News 全球最佳大学排名，也未进入 2026 年软科世界大学学术排名主榜前 1000 名。

• OpenAlex records 15750 works attributed to the university carrying 60452 citations, an average of roughly four citations per recorded paper.OpenAlex 记录该校文献 15750 篇、被引 60452 次，平均每篇论文约被引四次。

• Its citation total is close to four times the number of works, a distribution spread over the science, humanities and social-science departments rather than concentrated in one field.其被引总数接近论文数的四倍，这一产出分布于理科、人文与社科各学系，而非集中于单一领域。

• No subject-level position in a global league table is recorded for the university, and its disciplinary breadth rather than any single ranked field is its documented profile.该校没有任何全球单科排名的名次记录在案，其可见画像来自学科广度而非某一排名学科。

• Its record shows no Nobel Prize, Turing Award or Fields Medal affiliate, and no equivalent national laurel is documented for the institution as a whole.该校记录中没有诺贝尔奖、图灵奖或菲尔兹奖得主，也无任何国家层级的荣誉头衔整体记录在案。

• Its standing is therefore defined by its regional role, since the 1972 and 1973 Soviet decisions established it expressly as the first multidisciplinary university of Altai Krai.因此其地位取决于区域角色，因为 1972 年与 1973 年的苏联决定明确把它创办为阿尔泰边疆区第一所多学科大学。

• Its research record is registered under the OpenAlex institution identifier I163137577 and the ROR identifier 04m4wwh75, the entries against which the tally of 15750 works and 60452 citations is kept.其科研记录在 OpenAlex 与 ROR 两套机构登记号下各占一个条目，文献 15750 篇与被引 60452 次的统计即挂在这两个条目上。

Student life

• The first academic year of 1973 admitted students only in the four specialties of history, philology, law and economics, so early campus life centered on humanities and law cohorts.1973 年首个学年仅招收历史、语文、法律与经济四个专业的学生，因此早期校园生活以人文与法律生源为中心。

• Natural-science students arrived only in 1974, which meant that chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics laboratories were built up while the university was already teaching.自然科学学生迟至 1974 年入学，这意味着化学、生物、物理与数学实验室是在学校已开始授课之后逐步建成的。

• The four affiliates in Biysk, Belokurikha, Rubtsovsk and Slavgorod let students from outside Barnaul follow university programs without relocating to the krai capital.比斯克、别洛库里哈、鲁布佐夫斯克与斯拉夫戈罗德四处分校，让巴尔瑙尔之外的学生无须迁居首府即可修读大学课程。

• Graduates of the law specialty have entered the regional justice system, as the career path of one 2005 alumnus through the Biysk city prosecutor's office shows.法学专业毕业生进入地方司法系统，一名 2005 年毕业生经比斯克市检察机关办公室任职的履历即是明证。

• The presence of a Department of Education and Psychology and of a Department of Mass Communication points to a student body trained for teaching, media and public-sector work in the krai.设有教育与心理学系和大众传播学系，说明其学生群体主要为边疆区的教育、传媒与公共部门岗位而培养。

• Campus representation feeds directly into regional politics, since alumni have stood in Barnaul City Duma elections and been put forward by United Russia for the State Duma.校园与地区政治之间通道直接，因为该校校友曾参加巴尔瑙尔市杜马选举，并被统一俄罗斯党推举竞选国家杜马议席。

• Because the plan of 1973 opened only four of the nine specialties in its first year, the earliest student body of the university was confined to the history, philology, law and economics cohorts.由于 1973 年的方案首年只开设九个专业中的四个，该校最早的学生群体仅限于历史、语文、法律与经济四科。

• The admissions of 1974 in chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics doubled the number of fields open to students within the first two academic years of the university.1974 年在化学、生物、物理与数学四个方向的招生，使该校头两个学年内可选专业的数量翻了一倍。
