Ōita-Daigaku-mae Station opened on 23 March 2002 as an in-fill stop on JR Kyushu's Hōhi Main Line, serving Oita University's nearby Dannohara campus. Local advocacy through the "JR Hōhi Line Ōita-Daigaku-mae Station Establishment Association" began campaigning for the new station from autumn 2000. The station was equipped with a glass-fronted barrier-free building, multipurpose toilet, and a long ramp linking the gate level to the single side platform. SUGOCA IC card readers were introduced on 1 December 2012. Initially run by JR Kyushu Tetsudo Eigyo as an outsourced staffed stop, the station was unstaffed from 1 December 2018 when the "ANSWER" remote-assistance system was deployed, having been deferred from an earlier March 2018 rollout date.

The long sloped ramp linking the gate to the lower platform doubles as an informal gallery, periodically hosting photo and art exhibitions.
