Vision
Mission
SLSU will:
On July 7, 1969, Sogod National Trade School was created by virtue of Republic Act No. 4352, a vocational institution tasked to answer the problem of lack of manpower training for adults and out of school youths. Twelve years after, the school once again was converted into Southern Leyte School of Arts and Trade, this time transforming it into an institution of tertiary education. Republic Act 7930 was enacted by the Congress of the Philippines on March 1, 1995 further converting the school into a chartered state College and renamed it Southern Leyte State College of Science and Technology (SLSCST). Republic Act 9261 which was enacted and approved by Congress and the Senate Republic of the Philippines on March 7, 2004, established the Southern Leyte State University by integrating the Southern Leyte State College of Science and Technology in the Municipality of Sogod and Tomas Oppus Normal College in the Municipality of Tomas Oppus. With this development, five higher education campuses were integrated to comprise the university since SLSCST has been made host to three other CHED-supervised institutions in October 1999. Thus. The Southern Leyte State University is composed of institutions known as the following:
College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences
College of Teacher Education
College of Aquatic and Applied Life Sciences
College of Business and Management
