The history of the Faculty of Philology has developed in parallel with the history of the university and dates back to June 13, 1940 when the two-year Teacher Training Institute was opened in Przhevalsk. At that time, the Faculty of Literature had 50 applicants. The first head of the then only Department of Philology was V. V. Kostylev. On April 22, 1953 the Pedagogical Teacher Training Institute named after G. Dimitrov was reorganized into the PSPI (Przhevalskiy State Pedagogical Institute) after which the faculty was considerably enlarged and the department of the Kyrgyz language was opened. In connection with the beginning of foreign language training, in 1996 the Department of English Language Theory was established. A correspondence department was opened in 1967.
Over the years, the Faculty of Russian Language and Literature has made a significant contribution to the development of the theory and history of the Russian language and literature, as well as their teaching methodology at school. The research of teachers, linguists, scientists who worked at PSPI, such as O.V. Ozarovsky, N.G. Tomarchenko, Y.N. Chumakov, V.K. Yantsen, V.I. Shapovalov, A.S. Kantsev, G. Hlypenko, A.D. Mansuza, V.D. Glebov, K. Beisembaev, H. Dootaliev, K. Zhideeva, K. Dobaev have gained wide renown.
The Department of Kyrgyz Philology, founded in the 1990s, was enriched with renowned linguists and writers from other higher education institutions of the country, as well as from the Kyrgyz National Academy of Sciences. In 1992, the Faculty of Kyrgyz Philology was transformed into an independent faculty. The first dean was Doctor of Philological Sciences, Professor K. Abakirov.
In the formation and development of the Faculty, great contribution was made by such prominent representatives of national philology as H.Karasaev, Z.Bektenov, J.Zhusaev, K.Beishembaev, J.Mamytov, B.Zhumabaev, S.Ybykeev, H.Doolotaliev, Sh.Orozakunov, B.Zhaparov, etc.
In the history of its development, the Kyrgyz department was for many years a separate department. The departments of English and Foreign Languages were also part of a separate Institute of World Languages. The Russian language department was part of the Faculty of Russian Philology and Journalism, later Russian Philology and Foreign Languages.
