PSU SAN CARLOS CITY HISTORY

The Pangasinan State University mission is to provide service in Technical and Professional Training in the Arts, Sciences, and Humanities and in the conduct of Scientific Research and Technological Studies and Community Service. Its vision is to strengthen and sustain growth through a meaningful, substantive, and responsible integration of diverse orientation and philosophy of PSU constituents and stakeholders.

PSU San Carlos Campus was among the first campuses established in the PSU System by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 1497 which was promulgated on June 11, 1978. It started as the College Department of the Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School (SEPNAS) and pioneered the offering of a two-year course in Associate in Agricultural technology (AAT) in 1974, which was a crash program of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports. In 1976, the four-year Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education (BSAEd) program was offered.

In 1979, it was integrated in the PSU System as a College of Agriculture. It continued to offer the BSAEd course that directs the students towards teaching vocational agriculture in the secondary level. Providing an integrated elementary-secondary education level training for the student teachers further enriched the course.

In 1980, the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSA) was offered with two major fields of specialization namely, Crop Science and Animal Science. In 1998, the Bachelor in Secondary Education, major in Agricultural Technology replaced the BSAEd program. A year after, the BSE curriculum had added Business Technology as another major field of specialization. In 2002, the college has added to its curricular offering the Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Elementary Education.

Today, after 30 years of existence, the campus has grown as a very relevant institution in human resource development for the needs of the province, the region and the country in general. It now offers five major courses namely, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSA), Bachelor in Secondary Education (BSE) with majors in Technology Livelihood Education and Business Technology, Bachelor in Elementary Education (BEEd), Bachelor of Science in Information, Communications and Technology (BS ICT), Bachelor of Science in Business Management (BSBM) with a major in Human Resource Development Management, and the newly offered Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA). All these courses have been continuously and thoroughly evaluated by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and retained for their relevance and competitiveness in the job market or in the entrepreneurial arena.

PSU San Carlos has also etched a mark in the field of research and extension, producing useful technologies and creating significant impact on the livelihood of its community clienteles particularly along mango production, rice, corn and vegetable production, swine and poultry raising and mushroom production.

PSU San Carlos Campus has remained a relevant institution of higher learning through the strong leadership of its past and present administrators. Dr. Rodolfo G. Tamondong was the first Dean of the College. Others who served as Deans are as follows: Prof. Arturo To Bulatao, Dr. Restituta P. Dispo, Dr. Leonardo E. Monje, Dr. Melanio D. Malicdem and Prof. Nicasio C. Garica, Jr., Dr. Honorio L. Cascolan, Dr. Dominador N. Simon and Dr. Virgilio C. Barongan, who is the current Dean of the campus.

To date, the campus assumes a highly dynamic environment where academic programs and activities are continuously reviewed, enhanced and improved to make them truly responsive to the demands of the labor market and the over-all academic welfare of the students to make their college experience remarkably fulfilling. As of 2006, PSU- San Carlos Campus was granted by AACCUP a Level II accredited status in its Agriculture Program which include the BSA and BSAED curricula. This year, the campus hopes to become the Provincial Center for Agricultural Education, hence, significant development efforts are being geared towards this goal.

Through the dedication of its highly competent faculty and staff, the PSU San Carlos Campus continuous to move ahead and take the lead in achieving relevance and excellence in all its functions for the greatest interest and welfare of its community clientele.
