History
The Agriculture Institute of Maragheh was founded in 1987-under the auspices of University of Tabriz. The state-funded institute conferred associate degrees that generally took two years. With the continued efforts of the officials then and the agreement of Council of Higher Education Development (CHED), the institute developed into Agriculture College of Maragheh in 1999. The college was considered as a branch of Tabriz University until 2005. On April 30, 2005, the CHED agreed with further expansion and development of the college; as a result, it turned into the Higher Education Center of Maragheh. Later on January 13, 2007, the CHED recognized the center as Maragheh University. With budget allocation to the university in 2008, it became financially independent. Finally, the official agreement of the CHED with the establishment of Maragheh University was issued on May 30, 2009.
