History

Yerevan State University was established in December, 1920. It was officially inaugurated on January 23, 1921.

The university was initially called "Yerevan Popular University" and was situated on Astafyan (now Abovyan) street in the building of the former teaching seminary, which was built around 1900-1906 (in the second floor in 1933-1935 and in the right porch of studying part in 1939 – architecture V. Mirzon).

The construction of new filial-branches (architecture E. Tigranyan) began in the fifties in the territory between Mravyan and Charents streets and is still there. The first president of YSU was H. Manandyan (1921).

Initially there were two faculties: of physical sciences and of social sciences. Later new ones were inaugurated – agricultural, oriental, and technical (1921). In 1923 the labor faculty was jointed. In 1930 Polytechnic, Medical, Cooperative and Pedagogical Institutes were established in Yerevan on the base of the faculties of YSU.
