The University of Kashan, which received its permit in 1352, began its journey as the first higher education center with 200 students in mathematics and physics from the following year. The school operated under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Education until 1979. Following the success of the Islamic Glorious Revolution in the same year, the Kashan Higher Science School was incorporated into the Ministry of Culture and Higher Education, under the supervision of Isfahan University.
In 1982, after the Islamic Revolution and the subsequent reopening of universities, the center became affiliated with Tarbiat Moalem University in Tehran, following a change in the nature of its faculties. By 1368, as the university expanded, it evolved into the Teacher Training University of Kashan, operating independently and directly under the Ministry of Science. With the introduction of engineering disciplines in 1373, the universality of Kashan was approved by the Development Council. A year later, the School of Architecture and Art was established, focusing on the regional needs and arts.
Currently, the university boasts a community of 9,000 students, 630 professors, and 300 faculty members. According to reports, 7,126 scientific articles have been published in journals, 10 internal conferences have been held, and the university has published 12 specialized journals. Additionally, 5,580 papers have been published in internationally accredited journals.
