History

The Mindoro State University (MinSu) was originally the Mindoro National Agricultural School (MINAS) created by R.A. 506 as a national agricultural secondary public school in the Municipality of Victoria (formerly part of Naujan) Oriental Mindoro. It formally opened its doors for learning on August 26, 1951.

In 1963, by authority of R.A. 3758, it opened the Collegiate Department. This steered the offering of several collegiate courses. The first two years leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in agriculture (BSA) was initially offered. This was followed by the two-year course leading to Associate in Agricultural Technology (AAT) in 1973, then the complete course offering of Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education (BSAE) in 1975 and the BSA curriculum developed by the Technical Panel for Agricultural Education (TPAE) based at Los Baños, Laguna was adopted by the school. This gradually replaced the BSA curriculum as well as the BSAE.

The continued offering of Collegiate courses, in addition to the secondary curriculum which was offered since the founding of the school made MINAS a full-fledged college hence; the change of name from MINAS to MCAT was approved on June 10, 1976, by then Secretary Juan L. Manuel of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports. It was converted as a State College by virtue of R.A. 8007 on May 25, 1995. The Bongabong College of Fisheries and Polytechnic College of Calapan was integrated to it. Then, on June 4, 2013 by virtue of R.A. 10596, it was converted to a State University provided all six (6) procedural requirements are complied as certified by CHED. On March 16, 2021, by virtue of CEB Resolution No. 110-2021, CHED certified the full compliance of MinSCAT to the said procedural requirements and granted the latter the University status and appointing Dr. Levy B. Arago Jr. as its first University President.

With the integration, then PCC has evolved as MinSu Mindoro State University.
