The Humanitarian Institute of the North Caucasus Federal University was established on the basis of the NCFU Rector's Order No. 97/0 dated July 23, 2012. The very word "humanitarian" (from Latin. humanitas – human nature, education) means "addressed to the human person, human rights and interests." The humanities include history, philology, journalism, linguistics, art history, cultural studies, theology, psychology, etc. The first universities that arose in Europe in the XI-XIII centuries were mainly focused on the study of humanities. Almost all major modern university centers pay primary attention to humanities.

The educational process at the Institute is provided by 80 highly qualified teachers who have completed internships at leading research centers and universities in Russia and abroad, including 50 professors. Renowned scientists from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don and other cities, as well as specialists from Great Britain, Germany, and Finland, are involved in the educational process at the Institute. Currently, a number of disciplines at the Institute are taught in foreign languages, which increases the academic mobility of students.

Students who have successfully completed their Master's degree have the opportunity to continue their studies in postgraduate and doctoral studies.

Currently, work is underway to create an International REC "Center for Languages of the Peoples of the Caucasus" on the basis of the previously operating PNIL "Text as a cultural phenomenon: Methodology. Caucasus studies. Semiotics", as well as the creation of the REC "Historical dimensions of integration processes in the North Caucasus".

The Institute actively develops cooperation with leading scientific and university centers in Russia, including the Southern Federal University, the Russian State University for the Humanities, Saratov State University, and the Southern Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Humanitarian Institute has cooperation agreements with the Institute of General History of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
