The Faculty of Letters and Sciences was established in 1992 as a result of the expansion of the educational offer of the former Institute of Petroleum and Gas in Ploiești and its transformation into a university. This expansion was the result of the diversification of the labor market and of the fact that new specializations appeared in many other universities in the country. Thus, Institute of Petroleum and Gas in Ploiești was transformed into a university, initially bearing the name the University of Ploiești, but then returning to the name Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiești in order to reflect the tradition in the oil field education that it had previously had.

In 2002, it was reckoned that the Faculty of Letters and Sciences could be divided into two faculties, namely the Faculty of Letters and Sciences, consisting of the already mentioned specializations of humanities, social sciences and fundamental sciences, and the Faculty of Economics, which would gain its own status.

The Faculty of Letters and Sciences is part of Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiești, which is a state higher-education institution with a rich tradition and outstanding results in the Romanian higher education system, re-accredited in 2019, and operating under Decree no. 175/1948 for the education reform, published in the Official Monitor no. 249 / 26.10.1948, under the Decree no. 702/1973, published in the Official Monitor no. 211 / 30.12.1973 and under the Decision of the Romanian Government no. 23 / 11.01.2001, published in the Official Monitor no. 18 / 11.01.2011.

Within the Faculty of Letters and Sciences, 7 Bachelor’s degree programmes, 6 Master’s degree programmes and a Romanian language preparatory programme for foreign citizens are accredited.
At the moment, there are no doctoral programs under the auspices of the Faculty of Letters and Sciences, but a file awaiting provisional authorization for a Doctoral School in the field of Educational Sciences has been submitted to ARACIS.
