The Sangguniang Panglungsod of the City of Alaminos has favorably endorsed and approved the establishment of Pangasinan State University Campus in the City of Alaminos as contained in Resolution No. 2007-84 adopted on November 16, 2007. In 2008, the City has allocated a Ten Million Budget for the first PSU building.
PSU Alaminos Campus was approved by the PSU Board of Regents sitting en banc on April 19, 2009 at the University Hotel, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon, City as contained in its Resolution No. 04, series 2009. PSU Alaminos Campus was conceived with the principle that the National and Local Government have the responsibility of ensuring the happiness and well being as well as a stable life of the present generation brought about by a progressing economy and a well-developed society that exist within the wider context of the environment that requires the interaction among well educated and value-driven citizens.
PSU highly enthused for the establishment of its ninth PSU Campus forged a collaborative partnership with the LGU of the City of Alaminos to serve not only the constituents of the City but also the First District of Pangasinan and Northern Zambales. Hence, with the able leadership of President Victoriano C. Estira, PSU has established partnership with Hon. MARCELO E. NAVARRO JR., Municipal Mayor of Bani and signed a Memorandum of Agreement for the establishment of PSU BANI EXTENSION classes, a satellite Campus on the 4th day of May, 2009.
PSU Alaminos and Bani Extension Campus have started its operation Last June 15, 2009 with one hundred two (102) students. As of July, 2009 there are fifty six (56) students enrolled in Associate in Arts, and forty one (41) students in the Ladderized Program of BS in Fisheries. Most of the students are scholars of Mayor Navarro, Mayor Braganza and Governor Espino. These students are now housed in the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce Building in Bani East Central School in Bani, Pangasinan while waiting for the PSU Building in Alaminos City.
The progress of education has been phenomenal as far as the development of colleges and universities of Pangasinan is concerned. In the mainstream of this development and growth, Pangasinan State University (PSU) - Asingan Campus stand up as a progressive college.
The campus history traces back in 1962 when PSU- College of Arts and Technology, Asingan Campus started as the Binalonan High School Annex situated in the school buildings of the defunct Pacifican Institute of Asingan. Later, the school site was acquired through a donation of the family of the late Concha Miguel. Temporary school buildings were constructed, so that in 1963, the school was separated from the Binalonan High School and became the Asingan High School by virtue of R.A. No. 3995 (Approved in 1967 and authored by the late Representative Luciano Millan). The school was later converted into Asingan School of Arts and Trades (ASAT) under the Bureau of Vocational Education. ASAT easily expanded with the offering of post secondary courses (Associate in Industrial Technology courses) and college degree programs like Bachelor in Industrial Technology (BIT) and Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education (BSIE).
The PSU Bayambang Campus had a very humble beginning. It started as the Bayambang Normal School in 1922. It offered then the secondary normal course which prepared much needed teachers for the country. The school closed in 1935 due to inadequate funds but re-opened in 1948 under a new name – the Pangasinan Normal School (PNS), which offered the two – year teacher education program. It was one among the first normal schools in the Philippines. It was in 1952 that the college offered the four – year degree in teacher education for elementary teachers by virtue of RA No. 975. In 1953, the school with elementary schools in the District of Bautista and the Bayambang National High School were merged to become the Philippine UNESCO Community Training Center. It operated as a school division then. Republic Act No. 5705 converted the school into a chartered institution – the then Central Luzon Teachers College on June 1969.
The Pangasinan State University Bayambang Campus is also among the constituent campuses of the University to actively house a Laboratory High School (a school under the College of Teacher Education; serves as training ground for future HS Teachers) which dates its history by its then - name, Central Luzon Teachers College. The Pangasinan State University Laboratory High School offers secondary education in Science Curriculum. The School also offered Basic Education Curriculum until March 2010. Batch 2010 - 2011 Seniors was the first batch of the school in years to graduate from an all - science curriculum enabled sectioning. It also was the first batch to graduate from an all - single section per year system which was decided upon dating back on 2007. The batch makes history in being the first batch to hold graduation rites in the first ever Integrated Closing Exercises which houses both the LHS and KD - ELS (Kindergarten Department - Elementary Laboratory School) in one Closing Ceremony. The Ceremony was successful, uniting the two laboratory schools of the Campus; KD - ELS and LHS.
The Pangasinan State University (PSU) was created by virtue of Presidential Decree 1497 which was promulgated on June 11, 1978 and took effect on July 1, 1979. Starting its operation in 1979, it had two Colleges of Agriculture located in Sta. Maria and San Carlos City; two Colleges of Arts and Trades situated in Lingayen and Asingan; a College of Education in Bayambang; and a College of Fisheries in Binmaley. All the collegiate courses in the aforecited seven integrated component colleges of the University were government-supported and were directly under the supervision of then Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS).
The College of Agriculture in Infanta, Pangasinan was created by PD 1494 signed by President Marcos on June 11, 1978. On the same day, PD 1497 was signed by the President, establishing the Pangasinan State University (PSU) which integrated the college level courses of the seven state-funded institutions in Pangasinan, one of which is the College of Agriculture in Infanta.
The PSU became officially operational on July 1, 1979 but the College in Infanta had no budgetary allocation. However, funds from the PSU Main were set aside to prepare for its opening in June 1981.
President Marcos proclaimed 1000 hectares in Barangay Bamban, Infanta for the College site. A portion of the site had been prepared for the College Campus. Concerned leaders of Pangasinan helped in the preparations, among whom are: Hon. Jacobo C. Clave, Vice Governor of Pangasinan (Formerly Presidential Executive Assistant), Governor Aguedo F. Agbayani and the members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan; the Honorable Assemblymen of Pangasinan; Mayor Cesar Vallarta and the members of the Sangguniang Bayan of Infanta, including the Barangay Officials of Bamban and nearby barangays.
Director Benjamin Mercado of the Ministry of Budget, Region I and his staff with PSU officials visited the site in early 1980 and recommended (and finally approved) the construction of one Administration Building, Farm Machinery Building, and Agricultural Building and a water tank in 1981 to start the educational institution in Western Pangasinan and nearby Zambales to serve the educational needs of the youth.
The PSU Infanta Campus became fully operational in June 1981 and earned its autonomous status in January 1983. The College campus in Bamban, Infanta has a wide agricultural and forest reserves which serve as training ground and laboratory of the students and all agencies committed to development. It is about 7.5 km. from the town proper and located near San Felipe River, the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) dam, and the white clay mines.
PSU Lingayen Campus, as most Pangasinenses know it today, is the result of fusion of then two independent colleges in Lingayen namely the College of Arts and Sciences and College of Technology. Like other components of the Pangasinan State University (PSU), Lingayen Campus underwent difficult process of transformation and experienced some painful periods of transition.
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.
The Pangasinan State University mission is to provide service in Technical a On June 13, 1960, the late Congressman Luciano Millan of the 5th (now 6th) Congressional District of Pangasinan worked for the enhancement of R.A. 2430 authorizing the appropriation of P200, 000 for the establishment, operation and maintenance of the Eastern Pangasinan National Agricultural School (EPNAS) in Sta. Maria, Pangasinan. After six years of operation, EPNAS was converted into a college with the enactment of RA 4178 known as the Eastern Pangasinan Agricultural College (EPAC).
Courses offered then where Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSA major in Agronomy and Animal Husbandry; and the two year Associate in Agricultural Technology (AAT).
On June 11, 1978, some members of the faculty and staff, facilities and equipment, and a number of buildings were formally and legally integrated to the Pangasinan State University (PSU) system by virtue of PD 1497 in the school year 1979-80 and thus became PSU-Sta. Maria (PSU-SM). The college offered degrees in Bachelor of Science in Agriculture majors in Animal Husbandry, Crop Science, Agricultural Education, Agriculture Economics and Agricultural Extension.
Pangasinan State University Urdaneta
is situated in the veritable melting pot and fast-growing education center in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan. Its historical origin reflects the noble traces of hard-pushed efforts, determination, political savvy and administrative acumen of its founder and the enthusiastic support of the faculty and staff, the University administration, the political leaders in the service area and the people of Urdaneta City in general.
What is now known as PSU Urdaneta City Campus System traces its humble beginnings as a geographic satellite of PSU Asingan, its mother campus. In such status, it took effect by virtue of PSU Memorandum No. 3, s. 1987. This project to create a satellite campus in Urdaneta was inspired from the visions and ideas of Dr. Rodolfo V. Asanion, who was then Dean of PSU Asingan Campus. Dr. Asanion, at a later time, became the University President. With the help of concerned agencies including then Ministry of Budget headed by Min. Manuel Alba, the Municipal Government of Urdaneta under Hon. Amadeo R. Perez, Jr., through the approval of a pertinent Sangguniang Bayan Resolution, the Urdaneta, satellite campus, of PSU Asingan was realized. The once complex system of PSU Asingan was under the administration of one College Dean with two Associate Deans in each of its two geographic satellites. At that time, the two campuses had to share the meager budget. In time, Urdaneta satellite campus surmounted every difficulty that confronted it and improved its capacity to accommodate more and more students. In turn, these promising indicators became catalytic for its pioneering faculty to peddle for its autonomy from the mother campus and turn it into a standard College of Engineering. With the full support of the Sanguniang Bayan of Urdaneta, separation was sought through Board resolution No. 82, s. 1989 which took effect on August 1, 1989, thereby creating the PSU Urdaneta Campus system as the University’s bastion in terms of its Engineering and Technology programs.
The Graduate School originated from the programs of the then Central Luzon Teachers College. The now PSU-Bayambang Campus had a humble beginning. It started as the Bayambang Normal School in 1922, folded up in the thirties due to world-wide economic crisis, re-opened and renamed Pangasinan Normal School (PNS) in 1948. In 1953, it became a part of the Philippine - UNESCO National Community Training Center (PUNCTC). From a two-year (ETC) collegiate institution, it offered the four-year teacher education program in 1954 by virtue of RA No. 975. In 1961, its graduate program was opened. In 1969, the school was chartered through RA No. 5705 to be known as the Central Luzon Teachers College.
In 1978 by virtue of the issuance of P.D. No. 4197, the Pangasinan State University was created. In 1982, the doctoral program of the University was offered. PSU-Bayambang Campus, with its teacher education program, was made the center. In 1987, there were four centers of the Graduate School located at PSU-Bayambang, PSU-Lingayen, PSU-Sta. Maria, and PSU-Urdaneta, with the latter as its central office. The following year, the master's program of PSU-Sta. Maria was transferred to PSU-Urdaneta. Thus, there were three centers in 1988 to 1994. In 1994, all graduate programs were centralized in PSU-Graduate School - Urdaneta City.
PSU Graduate School in Bayambang
The Pangasinan State University established the Open University System in the latter part of the year 1996. It was formally launched at PSU-Lingayen in March 1997 with the presence of former Speaker Jose C. De Venecia who was instrumental in the funding of the initial two years of operation of the system. The establishment of the PSU-OUS was borne out of the need to respond to the unique needs for further professional and technical development of career people, administrators and managers, technicians and workers who may not have the time or opportunity to attend or perform the regular university programs while at work.
The accreditation of curricular programs in the Philippines, particularly for state universities and colleges, is the main function of the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP), Inc. Organized in 1987, though officially registered and recognized under the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 4, 1989, it is the youngest of the four (4) accrediting agencies in the country until late 2003. Under its charter, one of the functions, if not the main purpose of AACCUP, is "to develop a mechanism of, and conduct the evaluation of programs and institutions."
AACCUP is now closely allied with the Association of Local Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation, Inc. (ALCUCOA), organized only in the later part of year 2003.
The AACCUP is a member of the:
* National Network of Quality Assurance Agencies, Inc. (NNQAA),
formed by AACCUP and the Association of Local Colleges and
Universities Commission on Accreditation, Inc. (ALCUCOA).
* Asia-Pacific Quality Network (APQN) with AACCUP
as member of the Steering Group based in Hong Kong, China.
* International Network of Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher

Pangasinan State University Urdaneta
-Urdaneta Campus:San Vicente, Urdaneta City, PangasinanPangasinan State University Urdaneta is situated in fast-growing education center in Urdaneta City...
is situated in the veritable melting pot and fast-growing education center in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan. Its historical origin reflects the noble traces of hard-pushed efforts, determination, political savvy and administrative acumen of its founder and the enthusiastic support of the faculty and staff, the University administration, the political leaders in the service area and the people of Urdaneta City in general.
What is now known as PSU Urdaneta City Campus System traces its humble beginnings as a geographic satellite of PSU Asingan, its mother campus. In such status, it took effect by virtue of PSU Memorandum No. 3, s. 1987. This project to create a satellite campus in Urdaneta was inspired from the visions and ideas of Dr. Rodolfo V. Asanion, who was then Dean of PSU Asingan Campus. Dr. Asanion, at a later time, became the University President. With the help of concerned agencies including then Ministry of Budget headed by Min. Manuel Alba, the Municipal Government of Urdaneta under Hon. Amadeo R. Perez, Jr., through the approval of a pertinent Sangguniang Bayan Resolution, the Urdaneta, satellite campus, of PSU Asingan was realized. The once complex system of PSU Asingan was under the administration of one College Dean with two Associate Deans in each of its two geographic satellites. At that time, the two campuses had to share the meager budget. In time, Urdaneta satellite campus surmounted every difficulty that confronted it and improved its capacity to accommodate more and more students. In turn, these promising indicators became catalytic for its pioneering faculty to peddle for its autonomy from the mother campus and turn it into a standard College of Engineering. With the full support of the Sanguniang Bayan of Urdaneta, separation was sought through Board resolution No. 82, s. 1989 which took effect on August 1, 1989, thereby creating the PSU Urdaneta Campus system as the University’s bastion in terms of its Engineering and Technology programs.

PSU Graduate School
San Vicente, Urdaneta City, PangasinanThe Graduate School originated from the programs of the then Central Luzon Teachers College. The now PSU-Bayambang Campus had a humble beginning. It started as the Bayambang Normal School in 1922, folded up in the thirties due to world-wide economic crisis, re-opened and renamed Pangasinan Normal School (PNS) in 1948. In 1953, it became a part of the Philippine - UNESCO National Community Training Center (PUNCTC). From a two-year (ETC) collegiate institution, it offered the four-year teacher education program in 1954 by virtue of RA No. 975. In 1961, its graduate program was opened. In 1969, the school was chartered through RA No. 5705 to be known as the Central Luzon Teachers College.
In 1978 by virtue of the issuance of P.D. No. 4197, the Pangasinan State University was created. In 1982, the doctoral program of the University was offered. PSU-Bayambang Campus, with its teacher education program, was made the center. In 1987, there were four centers of the Graduate School located at PSU-Bayambang, PSU-Lingayen, PSU-Sta. Maria, and PSU-Urdaneta, with the latter as its central office. The following year, the master's program of PSU-Sta. Maria was transferred to PSU-Urdaneta. Thus, there were three centers in 1988 to 1994. In 1994, all graduate programs were centralized in PSU-Graduate School - Urdaneta City.
