Licensed by the then Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Faculty of Letters and Humanities was founded in 1973 after deciding to hold the four BA programs of Persian Language and Literature, English Language and Literature, Teaching Persian Language and Literature, and Teaching English Language and Literature in one place. It should be noted that the core of this faculty was the Department of Foreign Languages ​​at Ahvaz Teacher Training College which expanded its activities in 1969 by admitting students of English Language and Literature in an evening program.
