History
KSU was founded in November 1917 during the First World War. It was modelled on the evacuated Tartu Teachers Institute. In 1919 the school was reorganized into Kherson Pedagogical Institute.
In the early 1920s, the institute was renamed to Kherson Institute of Education (Hino), and in November 1924 it was given the name of NK Krupskaya. During World War II from August 1941 to March 1944 the Institute ceased operations.
In March 1944, after the release of Kherson from Axis invaders, it resumed the educational process in 6 departments: physical, mathematical, scientific, linguistic and literary, geographical, and historical. In 1973 it opened a Faculty of General Sciences, in 1977 a Faculty of Education, and in 1986 a Faculty of Foreign Languages.
In the years following Ukraine's independence the Institute continued to develop. In 1992, the postgraduate program at the Faculty of Philology created additional pedagogical skills and retraining of Ukrainian Philology and Foreign Languages.

In 1994 the university opened a school of physical education and sport, and Kherson Academic Lyceum at KSU. In 1998, Kherson State Pedagogical Institute was reorganized as Kherson State Pedagogical University, which in 2002 became the Kherson State University. In 2004 it established the Research Institute of Information Technology. In April 2005 it opened the Business Development Centre.
The university buildings were several times shelled by Russian forces during Russian invasion of Ukraine. A swimming pool, lyceum, observatory and main building of the university were damaged.[1]
