The article presents the essence and characteristics of innovative education, and also highlights the main elements of the system of teaching innovation creation that has developed in countries leading in innovative education. It lists the reasons why the American innovative education system is difficult to implement in Russia. These include the lack of rights similar to those enjoyed by US universities, the rigid internal hierarchy at Russian universities, which precludes a high degree of organizational initiative by departments, and the weak connection between Russian businesses and the university environment. The integrative approach characteristic of US innovative education, which implies interdisciplinary education and the teaching of the fundamentals of innovative entrepreneurship management, is particularly emphasized. The article also lists elements of the American innovative education system that could be widely adopted, as they would improve the effectiveness of specialist training and would not conflict with the current Russian education system.
