History
It was early 1987 that the first step for establishing a university in the city of Tafresh was taken by the university development council. The goal was training professionals and researchers in order to enrich the necessary human resources in need of the country. Finally in May 1987 the construction of Tafresh University was initiated owing to the efforts spent by Dr Heydari.
In 1988, Tafresh University began academic activities by admitting 53 students in applied mathematics. At that time Amir Kabir University was the executor, and TU was a unit of that institution.
With the permission of the development council for higher education, Tafresh University was elevated to an independent university in 2005.
