Armenian State Pedagogical University Khachatur Abovyan has a rich history spanning over 100 years. While it’s impossible to list all its achievements, a few distinctive features set it apart from other higher education institutions in Armenia.

ASPU is the only university in Armenia that trains teachers for every subject included in the general education curriculum.
