On May 4, 1971, the Minister of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the RSFSR V.N. Stoletov signed an order to organize a university in Yoshkar-Ola, designed to fill the acute shortage of personnel for the intensively developing leading sectors of the national economy of the republic: industry, construction and agriculture.

MarSU is one of the main organizers of the work of the Council of Rectors of the Mari El Republic, a member of the Volga and Eurasian associations of universities. In the fall of 2005, MarSU was included in the Association of Classical Universities of Russia, the criteria for admission to which significantly exceed those established during the certification of the university. This is a great success of the university staff, high recognition of its merits.

Occupying a leading position in the world Finno-Ugric studies, the university has established particularly close contacts with foreign Finno-Ugric scientific and educational centers in Finland, Estonia, Hungary, with the society of M. Kastren (Finland).
The established status of MarSU in the Finno-Ugric world has strengthened contacts with the Russian Finno-Ugric regions, with the Mari living compactly in Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Kirov, Sverdlovsk and Nizhny Novgorod regions. On the basis of the University in 2005, the X International Congress of Finno-Ugric Studies and the XXII International Finno-Ugric Student Conference were held.
The creation and formation of the Mari State University marked a new stage in multiplying the intellectual potential of the republic, put it on a par with the recognized centers of economic, social, cultural development of Russia and, perhaps most importantly, increased the national self-consciousness of the people.
