In 1976, Mathematics Teacher Training was first offered at Alzahra University by the department of Mathematics in the Basic Sciences Faculty. After the Islamic Revolution, this area of study was further developed into Pure and Applied Mathematics as B.Sc. degrees. The department further offered MSc and PhD degrees respectively in 2000 and 2002. Ultimately the expansion of the programs offered by the Mathematics Department (e.g. Statistics and Computer Science programs), in 2014 the department of Mathematics separated from the Faculty of Basic Sciences and became a faculty in its own right.
