The history of the university in Osijek begins in 1707 with the foundation by the Franciscans of a higher theological school of philosophy: it laid down the traditions of teaching the humanities, and contributed to the spread of education. Later it was transformed into an episcopal lyceum, and in 1893 the Royal School of Male Teachers opened on its basis, which in 1961 became the Academy of Pedagogy. The theological college was also formed on the basis of the lyceum.
In 1967, a branch of the University of Zagreb was opened in Osijek. In 1975, the departments of the University of Zagreb in Osijek combined with other universities in the city and created the University of Osijek. In 1990, the university was named after the progressive Catholic Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, who was born in Osijek in the early 19th century.
