School Profile & History of The Universitas Ahmad Dahlan
.png){kind=logo}
- Ahmad Dahlan University, abbreviated as UAD, is a private university founded on November 18, 1960, in Yogyakarta. UAD was previously the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) Muhammadiyah, majoring in Educational Science, which obtained "recognized" status for the Associate Degree program based on the Decree of the Minister of Higher Education and Science Number: 106/A.63 dated September 15, 1963.
- Subsequently, based on the Decree of the Deputy Minister of Higher Education Number: 50 of 1966, this institution obtained the highest status for private universities, namely "equalized" status for the Educational Science major. Then, in 1966, FKIP Muhammadiyah applied for status to open a Doctoral education program. This status application was only granted in 1979 with "registered" status based on the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture Number 029/0/1981. The Associate Degree Program in Educational Science and the Doctoral Education Program in Educational Science were later merged into a Bachelor's Degree (S-1) education program with "recognized" status as the Curriculum and Educational Technology study program based on the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 0361/0/1986 dated May 14, 1986.
- In 1972, following the development of education, FKIP Muhammadiyah changed into IKIP Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. IKIP Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta created a Master Development Plan (RIP) for the next seven years, starting from 1976 to 1983. In 1978, IKIP Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta began implementing this development plan by opening and expanding several study programs and faculties, starting with the establishment of the Faculty of Teacher Training in Literature and Arts (FKSS), majoring in Indonesian Language and Literature.
- After undergoing various developments, the idea to transform IKIP Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta into Ahmad Dahlan University emerged at the end of 1990. This development idea received a positive response, especially from students in non-educational tracks. Additionally, the limited capacity of higher education institutions at that time also supported the idea of developing this university.
- Based on this, the Preparatory Committee for Universitas Muhammadiyah K.H. Ahmad Dahlan (Ummika) was formed by the Foundation of the Governing Board through the Decree of the Governing Board of IKIP Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Number 05/SK/1992 dated February 13, 1992. Subsequently, the Foundation of the Governing Board and the Rector consulted with the Regional Coordinator for Private Universities (Kopertis) Region V on February 22, 1992. On May 14, 1992, a feasibility study report was successfully prepared by the feasibility study drafting team. In the report submitted to the Director General (Dirjen) of Higher Education, it was proposed to change the name "Muhammadiyah" because, according to the Director General, only one university with the same name was allowed in a city. The Director General even suggested merging this university with Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta.
- After discussions and negotiations with various parties, on December 19, 1994, it was decided that IKIP Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta would change into Ahmad Dahlan University based on the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 102/D/0/1994.
- Ahmad Dahlan University develops education in both technological sciences and social sciences. Currently, UAD has eleven faculties that oversee several study programs specializing in their respective fields of knowledge.
