History
In November 2001, the MIU Foundation Committee established an international university under the consent of former President of Mongolia Natsagiin Bagabandi. In 2002, Mongolia International University opened with 66 students, 36 in the Department of International Business Management and 30 in the Department of Information Technology. Dr. Dong Yeon Won was appointed as the first president of MIU.
From 2003 to 2006, MIU established more departments and research centers, including the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science, Department of English Education, and Graduate Program in TESOL. In June 2006, MIU celebrated its first graduation ceremony, and Dr. Oh-Moon Kwon was appointed as the second president; and Dr. Dong Yeon Won as honorary president. Also in 2006, the Language Education Institute (LEI) was established.
Over the years, more academic programs became available such as the Department of Fashion Design, Department of Energy Resource and Environmental Technology, Department of Hotel Management, Truman Graduate School of Public Affairs, Art Research Center (ARC), and Mongolian Language & Culture Center (MLCC). In 2009, MIU established an international secondary school called Mongolia International School (MIS), which is now Mongolia Itgel High School.
Starting Fall 2016, incoming freshmen will be able to study in three newly opened academic programs: Department of Music Education, Department of Tourism Management, and School of Media and Communication (SMC).

Campus
About 30% of the students are international students from USA, Russia, Korea, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
The majority of students commute to the university from their homes in Ulaanbaatar. For international students, housing options include renting local non-MIU apartments or living in the MIU dormitory.
The MIU dormitory complex is located off-campus and houses up to approximately 100 students. Dormitory rooms accommodate two to three students depending on the size of the room. When dormitory capacity is limited, freshmen are given first priority. Several faculty and staff also live at the dormitory and serve as residential advisors.
MIU operates a cafeteria-style dining facility on campus. Meals and snacks are served every weekday to students and to faculty. Lunch menu options include Mongolian and Korean dishes. On campus, there is a Gilgal Cafe that serves coffee, tea, and baked goods.
Student Life
From performing arts to sports competitions to social events, each activity offers opportunities for students and faculty members to build MIU into a tight-knit community.
