The internal environment of private higher education institution has a complex structure. It includes faculty, students, graduate students and trainees, as well as personnel of structural units that provide the learning process and livelihoods of private higher education institution. The internal environment also includes buildings, facilities, auditoriums, laboratories, technical facilities, equipment for research and computer technology. The most important component of the internal environment are the premises for sports, informal communication and recreation of students and teachers. In the internal environment, complicated processes are constantly occurring, which have a direct or indirect influence on the activity of a private higher education institution and the state of its economic security. It should be borne in mind that, unlike the external environment, changes in the internal environment can be managed in one way or another. For this purpose, the top management of the private higher education institution and its structural units should constantly focus on monitoring the processes that take place in the internal environment in order to timely identify the threat factors or the formation of negative trends in the student environment, the teaching staff and the training and support staff. This will allow timely adoption of adequate measures to counteract the identified threats and create conditions for ensuring stable work and economic security of a private higher education institution.
