History
The university was first established as an Institute of Higher Education, and grew out of the additional HE operations of the local Filial High School in Korçë, on 15 October 1968.
In 1994 the university was renamed in honour of the former Prime Minister and founder of the Albanian Orthodox Church, Fan S. Noli.
