Ivanovo State University (Russian: Ива́новский госуда́рственный университе́т) or IvSU (Russian: ИвГУ) is in Ivanovo, about 300 km east of Moscow, Russia. The university was founded in 1918; before 1974, it was called Ivanovo State Pedagogical Institute.

IvSU has different types of programs from a traditional five-year specialist degree to a four-year bachelor's degree and a two-year master's degree following the modernization of the Russian education system and the Bologna Process.

History

On 12 July 1923, it was transformed into a teacher training college which in turn served as a basis for creating a teacher training institute in August 1932. That institute was named after Dmitry Furmanov. Ivanovo State University received its new name in 1974.
