History

Mandalay University was established as Mandalay College, an affiliated college of Rangoon University in 1925.^[1] The college was closed down beginning in 1942 because of World War II and was reopened only after the war in 1947. In 1958, it became an independent university and the only university in Upper Myanmar. Regional colleges like Magwe College, Taunggyi College, Myitkyina College, and Shwebo College became affiliate colleges under Mandalay University.^[1]

Per the University Education Act of 1964, which promulgated establishment of specialized universities in Myanmar, Mandalay University's focus was shifted to offer liberal arts, sciences and law degrees only. The university's Faculty of Medicine was carved out to create Institute of Medicine, Mandalay. In 1978, it was renamed Mandalay Arts and Science University (MASU) ({{lang-my|မန္တလေး ဝိဇ္ဇာ သိပၸံ တကၠသုိလ္). It again became Mandalay University after the current military government came to power in 1988 although the university's educational focus remains liberal arts, sciences and law.
