The institution originated in 1939 as an educational center for nuns founded by educator Luigia Tincani under the name Istituto Superiore di Magistero Maria SS. Assunta. Over decades it evolved into a modern university serving a broader student population.
The university maintains its Catholic identity while welcoming students from all backgrounds, embodying the motto 'In fide et humanitate' in its academic life. This foundational principle shapes how the institution approaches teaching and community across its campuses.
