Most MBA and EMBA (Executive Master of Business Administration) programs at RANEPA are accredited by the world's most prestigious accreditation associations.

RANEPA was one of the initiators of introducing МРА (Master of Public Administration) programs to the Russian education system. These programs are aimed at meeting the staffing needs of government bodies.

RANEPA has broad international contacts with leading foreign universities: it sends Russian students abroad, implements joint programs with leading international universities, and also trains foreign students.

The Academy's research and expert activities as the largest consultant for development projects and programs implemented by federal and regional authorities, corporations and public organizations, contribute to continuous improvement and updating of the educational process.

Its libraries (including regional branches) hold more than 7 million printed books. Of particular interest and great value are the rare book editions at the Yakushkin Library and Shanyavsky Open University (Moscow), the State Duma Library (St. Petersburg), and the famous Demidov Library (Yekaterinburg). Students of all branches of the Academy have access to digital educational and scientific resources: there are more than 20 Russian and foreign databases available.

The Moscow campus has a total of 319,500 square meters of premises; the total footprint area of the Academy's entire branch network is 747,600 square meters (including the Personnel Training Center in Pushkino).

RANEPA is the ideologist and project developer of the continuous education system in Russia. We have developed a concept for the modern system of continuous education for civil servants, to help modernize the system of advanced training and retraining of civil servants in the Russian Federation.
