History
MISI was established in March 2011 through a joint initiative between the Government of Malaysia and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The university was initially established with a focus on postgraduate education, research and industry engagement in supply chain management and logistics.
As part of its early academic development, MISI was affiliated with MIT and participated in the MIT Global SCALE Network, an international network of supply chain and logistics education and research centres.
MISI subsequently underwent organisational changes and ended its affiliation with MIT. Following its reorganisation, the university continued its operations independently and was renamed to MISI University, reflecting the expansion of its academic activities beyond its original focus.
While its historical foundation was primarily in supply chain management and logistics, MISI University has since expanded its academic scope to include programmes in other areas of study.

Supply chain management and logistics remain among the University's established areas of academic expertise. The University's academic portfolio has subsequently expanded to encompass additional fields of study in line with its development as a multidiscplinary higher education institution.
The University's academic programmes are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).
