History
History
First founded in 1957 as the Junior College of Forestry and Range Management (مدرسه عالي منابع طبيعي گرگان), the university was among the first specialized agricultural universities of Iran. Through a course of continued development, the Junior College was promoted to the school of Natural Resources offering three major courses in Forestry, Range Management, and Soil Conservation in 1975. After Islamic revolution, the School of Natural Resources was joined by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology in 1981 and became part of the Mazandaran University. In 1986, the school was united with the Junior College of Agriculture in the town of Gonbad and obtained approval from the Council of Academic Development of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, to upgrade to an independent institute called Gorgan University Complex of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Today, the university has 9 Colleges (Faculties), training 2800 graduate and post-graduate students. The university has an exchange student program with Astrakhan State University in neighbouring Russia. The university is located in the historical city of Gorgan in the Golestan Province.
