Culture is memory. Therefore, it is connected with history and always implies the continuity of the moral, intellectual, spiritual life of a person, society and humanity.

Yu. M. Lotman

Culture and art are the most important components of the life of any society, indicators of the level of its development and morality. Therefore, specialists who bring culture and art to the masses are so necessary.

The wealth of spiritual culture is passed on from generation to generation, from one group to another through people who have received special education in universities, where scientific, historical, religious, and social knowledge are concentrated.

The benefit that art gives us is not in what we learn, but in what we become, thanks to it.

Wilde O.

Institutes of culture and art are called upon not only to transmit cultural heritage, but also to satisfy the needs of society in personal development and self-realization, solving spiritual problems and finding the meaning of life. Educational institutions with a religious orientation contribute to solving the last two problems.

The system of cultural and art institutions includes various types of organization of artistic activity of mankind: television, cinematography, music, theatrical art, sculpture, painting. But in our ranking, THEATER, MUSIC AND ART UNIVERSITIES are placed in a separate category for ease of search by applicants.

Universities in the sphere of culture and art in Russia provide a thorough classical education and have always had world fame. Despite the political upheavals and transformations of recent decades, they have preserved their best educational traditions. But at the same time, they keep up with the times: young teachers improve their teaching activities and introduce innovative ideas into the educational process.

Art lies in finding the extraordinary in the ordinary and the ordinary in the extraordinary.

Studying at these universities is a great responsibility for students and future specialists. Becoming a worthy graduate is a real opportunity to develop as an outstanding personality and professional in your field.

The leaders among universities in such an important sphere of cultural influence on people as cinema and television are GITIS, VGIK, MITRO and GITRA. The country's leadership gives priority to funding this industry, and work in it is considered prestigious and highly paid.

Religious universities include a set of principles, rules, and norms that regulate the daily lives of people, performing ideological and integrating functions.

Art is such a need for a person as eating and drinking. The need for beauty and creativity, which embodies it, is inseparable from a person, and without it a person, perhaps, would not want to live in the world.

Dostoevsky F.M.

Thus, education in the field of culture and art plays a significant role as a transmitter of cultural and social experience from generation to generation.
