A group of veterans who were active in various cultural, scientific, and social fields recognized the necessity of entering the educational arena and scientific efforts to meet the immense needs of society. The idea of establishing Khorasan Non-Governmental, Non-Profit Institute of Higher Education emerged among them. With the efforts made, the final approval for the establishment of the institute was issued by the Higher Education Development Council in February 2005. The operational activities began in September 2005 with the registration of 200 students in three associate degree programs: Computer Software, Computer Hardware, and Electronic Engineering.

The institute’s strategy has been to balance the development of educational activities with the expansion and provision of necessary equipment and physical space, particularly focusing on attracting efficient and capable academic staff. Its dedicated management has always ensured that classes and laboratories are held in suitable educational environments. Every year, they establish new academic disciplines and prioritize the opening and operation of necessary laboratories, workshops, and computer sites. Alongside attracting academic staff, careful planning for future development years is also considered.

Currently, after two decades of operation, this higher education institute offers admission in 9 master’s degree programs, 12 bachelor’s degree programs, 10 associate bachelor’s degree programs, and 8 associate degree programs. The institute employs a total of 271 full-time faculty members and invited instructors who are actively engaged in teaching and research activities.

The institute boasts 21 laboratories and workshops, 3 computer sites, and 3 active studios, creating an ideal and attractive educational environment for the development of learning. Additionally, it provides a library and separate study halls for male and female students, along with separate cafeterias, active prayer rooms, and more among its facilities.

The scientific associations in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Law, Jurisprudence and Law, Accounting, Psychology, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Languages, and Mechanics, alongside student organizations such as Basij, the Quran and Etrat Society, Ma’oon Charity, Baqiatallah Student Group, and others, play a significant role in the vibrancy and liveliness of the academic and cultural environment at this institute.

The annual acceptance of more than one hundred graduates in master’s and doctoral programs at the most prestigious universities in the country, as well as their employment in cultural and economic centers, underscores the institute’s remarkable achievements in these areas.
