History

The Mindanao State University was created under Philippine Republic Act 1387 established at Marawi City on September 1, 1961. It is one of the state universities of the Philippines with the aim of providing education for the different strategic locations across the island of Mindanao. The campus was later expanded to a multi-campus university system now composed of ten autonomous campuses: MSU-Main Campus, MSU-IIT (CHED Center of Excellence in Science and Technology), MSU-General Santos, MSU-Sulu, MSU-Maguindanao, MSU-Naawan, MSU-Tawi-Tawi, and MSU-Buug.
