The Ifugao State University (or IFSU for short), is a government owned and funded university in the Philippines. It was originally established in 1920 as 'Nayon Settlement Farm School' by American educators. It gained its university status under Republic Act 9720 passed by the Philippine Congress and the Senate of the Philippines and duly approved in 2009 by none other than Her Excellency, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, then President of the Republic of the Philippines. With main campus located in Lamut, Ifugao, it is mandated to offer course specializations on Agriculture, Forestry, Nursing, Social Sciences, Criminology, Teacher Education, Business Administration, Public Administration, Information Technology, Food Science, among others in both undergraduate and graduate levels.
The Ifugao State University is governed by a twelve-member Board of Regents. It is chaired by the Commission on Higher Education Chairperson, Hon. Patricia B. Licuanan represented by Commissioner, Alex B. Brillantes, Jr.. Its members include:
Cross Border Campus, Penang, Malaysia
Main Campus, Nayon, Lamut, Ifugao, Philippines
The Ifugao State University with its main campus at Nayon, Lamut 3605, Ifugao, Republic of the Philippines has undergone a progressive metamorphosis since its inception in 1920 as Nayon Settlement Farm School by American Educators. It closed at the outbreak of World War II and re-opened after liberation maintaining its general elementary instruction while engaging in agriculture projects particularly gardening and poultry raising.
In 1959, the school changed its name into Ifugao Pilot Opportunity School of Agriculture (IPOSA) through R.A. 2432. Then after some years, it was renamed into Payon Bugan Pilot Opportunity School of Agriculture (PBPOSA) in honor of Bugan, the original owner and donor of the land where the school’s main campus is located. The school continued to enhance its programs offering regular vocational agriculture and homemaking courses during this period.
In 1971, because of the need to expand its programs to accommodate the need of the community, PBPOSA was converted into Ifugao Agricultural and Technical College (IATC) which produced the first batch of graduates from two-year technical courses in agriculture and homemaking in 1973 and first degree graduates in 1975.
In 1982, IATC became Ifugao State College of Agriculture and Forestry (ISCAF) through R.A. 189 integrating five(5) secondary schools in the province of Ifugao namely: Potia, Amduntog, Hacmal, Hapao, and Tinoc. The college grows even higher with the offering of degree programs in education, agriculture, forestry, home technology, computer technology, industrial arts; and masters programs in education, management and agriculture. Expanded Tertiary Education program was also offered.
