Shuya University began its history in September 1816, when the spiritual school was opened in Shuya. In 1996, the Shuya State Pedagogical Institute received the status of a Pedagogical University. This is a unique phenomenon in Russia: the provincial regional city became the owner of the university. This was an objective public recognition of the merits, role and importance of the university in the noble cause of training highly skilled workers for the entire non-productive sphere, but especially, of course, for the education system. From January 11, 2013 Shuya State Pedagogical University is a separate structural unit (branch) of the federal budget of a budgetary educational institution of higher professional education "Ivanovo State University".
