In 1990, on the occasion of the commemoration of 50 years since the death of philosopher, sociologist, jurist, and man of culture Petre Andrei, posthumous member of the Romanian Academy, a group of university professors, led by Petru P. Andrei, the scholar’s son, established the “Petre Andrei” Academic Foundation (FAPA), a non-governmental, apolitical, and non-profit organization.

Within FAPA, during the academic year 1990–1991, the University of the “Petre Andrei” Academic Foundation (UFAPA) was created, which bore the name “Petre Andrei” University (UPA) and initially comprised three faculties: Law, Economics, and Psychology. In 1998, the Faculty of Political Sciences was also established.

After completing all stages of provisional authorization and accreditation, and based on the assets provided by FAPA, through Law no. 408/2002, the “Petre Andrei” University of Iași was founded as a higher education institution, privately governed but of public utility, part of the national education system.
