In 1939 the Murmansk Teachers' Institute ( Russian Мурманский учительский институт. МУИ Murmanski uchitelski institut ) was founded. In 1956 this was converted into a pedagogical college and was called the State Pedagogical Institute Murmansk ( Russian Мурманский государственный педагогический институт Murmanski gossudarstwenny pedagogitscheski institut ). It was not until 2002 that it received the status of a university and was named State Pedagogical University of Murmansk ( Russian Мурманский государственный педагогический университет.
