Abstract: Economic conditions in Russia are having a drastic impact on higher education. Chelyabinsk Agricultural Engineering University is typical of many regional Russian universities in transition. While faculty have freedom to determine curriculum and degree requirements, their teaching loads are excessive, requiring up to six courses per year. The future of higher education in the agricultural sciences is at risk in Russia and other independent states.
