As the fifth faculty of Imam Sadiq University, the Faculty of Islamic Teachings and Management was established in 1990 when Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani was the president of Imam Sadiq University. Like other faculties of Imam Sadiq University, the purpose of establishing this faculty was to train human resources believing in Islamic principles and values to govern the Islamic society and also to prepare the bed for introducing Islamic social sciences and in particular Islamic management.
At first, this faculty was established with three divisions: financial management, business management, and industrial management and students were awarded Master’s degree, and in 2007, when Dr. Ali Rezaeian was the president, public administration was added to this faculty as a new division.  

In 2012 and for the first time, Dr. Gholam Reza Goudarzi who is one of the distinguished graduates of this faculty with brilliant executive and scientific background, became the dean of this faculty and, he both stabilized scientific departments, and launched two Ph.D. programs in financial management and public policy-making. 

The fifth dean of the faculty was also one of the graduates of this faculty. Dr. Meysam Latifi, another prominent graduate of this faculty, has been in charge since 2016. The following trends continued under him along the previous scientific process:
Filling up the seats of the faculties with young, scholarly, and compassionate professors
Forming scientific assemblies and problem-based think tanks
Revising the curriculum and developing a new curriculum
Launching Ph.D. programs in educational management and human resources and organizational behavior management
