The predecessor of the MUC School of Tibetan Studies at Minzu University of China was the Tibetan Language Teaching and Research Section of Minzu University of China, which was founded in 1951, and was accompanied by the Central Nationalities College (one of the former names of Minzu University of China), which was under construction at that time. In 1993, the Department of Tibetan Studies was established. In 2000, the Department of Tibetan Studies and the Institute of Tibetan Studies merged together, and the Institute of Tibetan Studies at Minzu University of China was established. In 2019, it was adjusted into an independent research platform at the department level and now engages in the study of Tibetan culture, history, religion, and other discipline directions.

In the past 60 years, with strong support from the State Ethnic Affairs Commission and MUC, the MUC School of Tibetan Studies has conducted social and historical investigations in the areas of ethnic languages as well as regions, major ethnic policies and ethnic theory issues, social and economic development in Tibetan areas, and other topics pertaining to advances in scientific culture. The aspect played an important role. The Institute has a master's degree in Tibetan Studies encompassing both Tibetan history and Tibetan religious culture as well as doctoral programs in Tibetan religious history, Tibetan cultural history, ancient Tibetan history and literature, modern Tibetan historical studies, and Tibetan religious culture.

Since its establishment, the school has brought together a group of well-known experts and scholars engaged in Tibetan studies, such as Daoquan, Dungdkar Blobzangvphrenleg, Wang Yao, Hu Tan, Chen Qingying, Duan Zhijia and representatives of some young and middle-aged academic circles. Such as Su Faxiang, Dan Zhu Ang Ben, Xi Rao Ni Ma, Cai Rang Tai, Zhou Runnian, Luo Sang Kai Zhu, Za Ba Jun Nai, Zeng Guoqing, Cai Wang La Mu and so on. The college has 21 full-time teachers, including six professors, six associate professors, nine lecturers, eight doctoral supervisors, and 12 master's supervisors. In the past 60 years, the MUC School of Tibetan Studies has trained many outstanding talents for Tibet and ethnic studies related departments. These experts are playing an active role in their respective positions.
