Originally an extension of the Atma Jaya University in Jakarta, it became an independent University under the auspices of the Slamet Rijadi Institute on 31 August 1973. The University originally borrowed classrooms from the IKIP Sanata Dharma, now the Sanata Dharma University, until the University's own campus buildings, located at Mrican Baru Street, were finished in 1980.

Growing student numbers led to the Faculty of Engineering and the Administration department being moved to a new building in Babarsari Road in 1990, in conjunction with the celebrations of the silver anniversary of the founding of the University. In 1995, the Economics Faculty and the Postgraduate Programme moved into a new building beside the existing building in Babarsari Road. In 2005 a new building was build adjacent to the the Faculty of Engineering and the Administration department to host Faculty of Social and Political Science. The University also acquired formerly BHS Bank building to host administrative department.

The motto of the University is "Servien in lumine veritatis" (serving in the light of truth).
