The history of Charles Sturt University dates back to the late 19th century. In 1891, the New South Wales government established the Riverina College of Advanced Education in Wagga Wagga. This college was the first tertiary education institution in the region and provided courses in agriculture, education, and science. In 1970, the college was renamed the Riverina-Murray Institute of Higher Education and began offering more courses in the humanities and social sciences.
