The date of foundation of Pyatigorsk State University is considered to be June 27, 1939, when the Pedagogical School officially became a higher educational institution. Since then, the university has undergone various changes and transformations - an increase in the number of years of study, several renamings - and officially became known as Pyatigorsk State University in 2016. Since 2005, the head of the university is Professor Gorbunov Alexander Pavlovich. By 2009, 10 faculties were formed at the university. Further, on their basis, institutes and higher schools were created, having one of the faculties in their composition. In addition, PSU is actively developing the system of pre-university, postgraduate and additional education. It has a branch in Novorossiysk. Currently, the university has 34 departments. Now Pyatigorsk State University has more than 5,500 students and 3,000 students from different regions of Russia and foreign countries. All the peoples of the Caucasus are also represented in PSU.

PSU launched the All-Russian campaign “Axiological Dictation.”

The campaign aims to preserve and strengthen traditional Russian spiritual and moral values. PSU students were the first in the country to take a 25-question test on state symbols, memorable dates, value orientations, and quotes from prominent cultural figures.

Representatives of the university's administration and faculty gave welcoming speeches, noting the importance of the initiative for the formation of civic responsibility and the strengthening of the spiritual foundations of the individual.

Participants received personalized certificates, and the “Axiological Dictation” became a step toward the development of a conscious attitude toward the values and history of Russia.
