f. There are at the present time
- approximately 780 institutions of
0 -higher learning in the Soviet
Union. Roughly 230 of these are
under the direct control of the
Ministry of Higher Education. Of
this number, only 39 are full-
fledged universities, the remaind-
er being specialized institutes of
one kind or another.
The educational program of So-
viet universities is much more
limited in scope than is true for
universities and colleges in this
- country. As a general rule what

e schools (medicine, engineering,

etc.) are organized in separate in-
