The prospects for the development of society and the quality of life of its members are largely determined by the state and trends of economic development. As Lawrence Peter rightly pointed out, economics is the art of satisfying limitless needs with limited resources. Scientific and technological progress, the development of information systems and technologies, on the one hand, modernize and complicate the economic sector of any state, and, on the other, significantly transform the requirements that graduate students must meet. The modern economy needs highly qualified specialists in the field of regional and industrial production, entrepreneurship, management, logistics, marketing, finance, who possess leading concepts about the economy and management of the national economy at macro and micro levels; have in-depth professional theoretical and applied knowledge about the basic principles, patterns and mechanisms of functioning of enterprises, industries and complexes of the economy. In the course of their studies, graduate students conduct independent scientific research, present their scientific research, take part in Russian and international conferences, undergo internships at foreign partner universities, and conduct master classes. At the same time, they master the skills of teaching, conducting lectures and seminars.
