After Japan's defeat in World War II, Aidai was established in May 1949 among many other national universities by the Japanese government during the reformation of the education system.

SSC students enter one of the three courses: Environmental Sciences, Geoscience, and Biomedical Engineering.

Students of SSC can complete their undergraduate education within only three years to advance to graduate studies at Ehime University or elsewhere.

The university has a cooperation project with Ehime Prefectural Matsuyama Minami High School, which is designated as a Super Science High School by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).

In addition, the university is cooperating mainly in the high school in Ehime Prefecture.
