The university was founded on April 16, 1939, on the initiative of the People's Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR as a teacher's institute. From September 1939, 100 students began to study pedagogical sciences. Their mentors were 15 teachers. The Institute had three faculties: Russian Language and Literature; historical; physical and mathematical; education lasted only two years, the main task was to train personnel for secondary schools in Khakassia.[3]

On February 10, 1944, the Abakan State Pedagogical Institute was opened on the basis of the teacher's institute. After 5 years of study, graduates became certified specialists.

In 1990, a special faculty for the training of practical psychologists was created at the ASPI and existed until 1996.[4] Since 1992, the institute began teaching Chinese students. In the same year, the Abakan Pedagogical Institute was named after Nikolay Katanov, a Turkologist.

On June 19, 1994, the institution was transformed into a state university.[5]

Nowadays, there are 9 institutes in the structure of the university, where there are 30 bachelor's and 13 master's programs. There are also 4 colleges at KhSU.
