History
The establishment of Petra Christian University
The establishment of Petra Christian University can not be separated from the role of Petra Christian Education and Teaching Association (PPPK Petra). PPPK Petra is a Christian association founded in 1951 that aims to provide education from the level of kindergarten to secondary education. The desire to provide a wider opportunity for higher education, encouraging the board of the association to establish a college.
The idea has been sparked since 1956, and it was only rediscovered in 1960, after Petra PPPK founder Tan Tjiauw Yong and Tan Gie Djien met with Brig. Dr. Moestopo in the Congress of Dentists Association in Bandung , West Java . Moestopo who has established a private university in Jakarta, namely University Prof. Dr. Moestopo (Religious) , advised and advised to immediately establish a Christian university in Surabaya.
To realize the idea then formed an ad hoc committee is the Preparatory Committee of University Establishment Planning in charge of preparing everything for the establishment of a Christian college. With the members of Tan Tjiauw Yong, Gouw Loe Liong, Tan Gie Djien, Tjoa Siok Tjoen, Lie Ping Lioe, and Kwee Djien Kian, this committee then served to prepare everything for the establishment of Christian College (PTK), both lecturers, Lectures, and so forth.

On September 28, 1961, the University Affairs Directorium (DUU) was established. It consists of Tan Tjiauw Yong, OF Patty, Mesach Wigjohoesodo, Gouw Loe Liong, and JA Sereh, who are in charge of continuing the growth of the Faculty of Letters of English Department. In addition, DUU also takes care of Petra Christian University finances. De facto , it was this DUU who administered Petra Christian University in the early days of its founding.

On January 7, 1965, The six members of the small committee facing Mr. notary . Oe Siang Djie and establishment of YPTK Petra officially diaktenotariskan. The formation of YPTK Petra marked the beginning of the independence of Petra Christian University, which has its own governing body, which is separately juridical from PPPK Petra.
