Abstract
The paper presents a model for managing the structure and content of the curriculum of the main educational programs, taking into account various criteria of optimally, as well as unclearly formalized interests of the main participants and consumers of the educational process. The proposed model allows you to create a curriculum for an educational program using various heuristic methods and optimal criteria. Curriculum development should consist of three stages. At the first stage, all the necessary information is collected. The purpose of the second stage is the distribution of labor intensity by the components of the disciplinary-activity structure of the educational program. The purpose of the third stage is the distribution of disciplines by semesters and years of study based on the method of distribution of labor intensity. The analysis of the optimality of each of the obtained curriculum variants is determined by the values of the weighting factors used in the procedure for calculating the hierarchical criteria of optimality.
