The purpose of the 2010-2011 KIMEP Catalog is to provide students, faculty members, administrators and all other 6 interested persons with the details of graduate and undergraduate studies at KIMEP. While the audience for the KIMEP Catalog is the campus community, we recognize that applicants, prospective students and many other people will read this material. This publication offers them insight into KIMEP, its policies, academic programs, and auxiliary services.

The 2010-2011 Catalog, furthermore, renders detailed descriptions of academic policies and procedure, rules and regulations, academic departments, programs, curricula, and organization structure of the Institution. Every student must read the catalog carefully and abide by the rules and policies published by KIMEP. In case a student is not sure about a particular issue, s/he should bring it to the attention of the KIMEP authorities for further explanation and elaboration. MISSION STATEMENT

KIMEP is a non-profit institution of higher education. Its mission is to develop well-educated citizens and to improve the quality of life in Kazakhstan and in the Central Asian region through teaching, learning, the advancement of knowledge in the fields of business administration and social sciences, and through community service.
