About the faculty

The Faculty of Economics, established in 1966, became the first and only structural unit of the Karaganda Cooperative Institute of the USSR Consumer Union, laying the foundation for the development of economic education in the region. It initially included departments of political economy, higher mathematics, economic geography and history, foreign languages, CPSU history, commodity science of industrial and food products, as well as physical education — ensuring a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to training specialists.

In 1970, the faculty graduated the institute’s first 190 highly qualified economists in trade, who became key figures in the development of consumer cooperation in Kazakhstan. Among its outstanding graduates are Kh. Ashlyaev, Chairman of the Board of Kazpotrebsoyuz; Ye. Aliakparov, former Chairman of the Pavlodar Regional Consumer Union and Deputy Chairman of Kazpotrebsoyuz; and Ye. Kadyrbayev, Deputy Chairman of the Pavlodar Regional Consumer Union and Director of the Cooperative College.

The faculty also counts among its alumni prominent academics and administrators: Rector of the University, Doctor of Economics, Professor Y.B.
