The Government Science Study Program was established based on the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number: 0607/0/1984, the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences of Riau Islamic University became an independent faculty. The departments fostered at that time were State Administration, Commercial Administration, Secretarial, and Government Science. Until now, the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences consists of 5 departments, namely the Department of Public Administration, Business Administration, Government Science, Office Administration, and the Department of Criminology.
The Government Science Study Programme is one of the programmes within the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Riau Islamic University, which is currently continuing to improve itself. This is done to respond to changes in various aspects of development, especially the implementation of regional autonomy whose problems are increasingly complex. The Government Science study programme has been accredited "A" based on Certificate Number: 0522/SK/BAN-PT/AKred/5/2016, DATE 20 May 2016.
The dynamics of an increasingly advanced and critical society have led to significant changes in various fields including politics and government. As a result of these developments, the Government Science Study Programme has received great challenges, so there is no other choice but to improve itself, especially in matters relating to curriculum improvement, improving the quality of teaching staff and students. In 2009 based on the Rector's Decree Number 141/UIR/Kpts/2009, the curriculum of the Government Science Study Program was established, but it did not refer to the KKNI standard.
Based on the Rector's Decree Number 344/UIR/Kpts/2015, the curriculum of the Government Science Study Program was established which already refers to KKNI in accordance with Presidential Regulation Number 8 of 2012 concerning the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI). The curriculum provides students with the opportunity to choose their field of specialisation by presenting elective courses to obtain a graduate profile at that time as government practitioners, social activists, and politicians.
In 2018 the Government Science Study Programme was internationally accredited by ASIC (Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges & Universities).
Based on BAN-PT Decree No. 3181/SK/BAN-PT/Ak-PPJ/S/V/2021, dated 21 May 2021 to 21 May 2026, stating that the Government Science Study Program, at the Riau Islamic University Undergraduate Program, Pekanbaru City, has again met the requirements for the A Accreditation rating from BAN-PT.
