[edit] History
The University of Sistan and Baluchestan (initially called University of Baluchestan) was founded in 1974 in Zahedan with initial opening of the Faculty of Engineering and enrolments in Road and Construction Engineering. It did not take long for the university to become a higher education hub in the region. The next expansions to the university were the Faculty of Nautical Science in Chabahar in 1978, the faculty of Agriculture in Zahedan in 1978 (later moved to Zabol), and the Faculty of Basic Science in Zahedan in 1989.
In 1991, Zahedan Teacher Training University was merged with the University of Sistan and Baluchestan, followed by the establishment of several other faculties, including Economics and Management, Fine Arts, Iranshahr Teacher Training, Earth Science and Geography, Educational Science and Psychology, and Computer and Information Technology.
One of the Success stories of the University of Sistan and Baluchestan, due to its high achievements and potentials, is the birth of two independent universities from it, namely, Zabol University, in 1998, and University of Chabahar, in 2002.
