Abstract: The paper proposes a variant of implementing higher education programs, aimed at ensuring the adequacy of the higher education system to personal, social and economic needs. To justify the feasibility of implementing the suggested version of educational programs, there are analyzed the features of the higher education system in the context of their compliance with current trends in the development of the social, economic, scientific and technological spheres. Certain specific features of the Russian higher education system are specified (as compared with foreign systems and the higher education system of the USSR). The goals and main functions of the higher education system are stated, the requirements for the higher education system as one of the institutions of the social and economic sphere are formulated. On the basis of the formulated requirements, there are set the conditions to be met by modern educational programs. There is as well proposed an optional way of bachelor’s degree program implementation – that is, in two blocks sequence: the first corresponding to the basic undergraduate level, and the second to the main one. The completion of each block is confirmed with a document to certify the fact of the corresponding part of the educational program having been mastered. The authors consider possible positive effects, as well as potential risks and difficulties, of the proposed ways of higher education programs implementation. There are listed corresponding necessary changes to the normative, organizational, technological, scientific and methodological documentation, including those related to the correction of federal state educational standards of higher education and the introduction of federal requirements for the implementation of the proposed blocks of the educational program, their specific features taken into account.
