The College of Agriculture started as a La Trinidad Farm
School in 1916 offering Elementary Agriculture.
In 1919, the school was elevated into a National Agricultural
High School to offer Vocational Agriculture then
metamorphosed into a college.
The Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education with major
fields in Agronomy and Animal Science was offered.
In 1970, a Technical Agricultural Division was created and the
Bachelor of Science In Agriculture (BSA) Curriculum was
offered. The pioneer sections under the division were: Soil
Science, Agronomy, and Animal Science.
In 1972, the Agribusiness and Economics section was added
simultaneously offering Bachelor of Agribusiness Management
(BABM), and Agricultural Economics as a major field in the
BSA curriculum.
On June 15, 1977, (MSAC Admin. Memo No. 2 S. 1977) eight
departments were organized under the Technical Agriculture
Division: Plant Science, Animal Science, Soil Science and
Chemistry, Veterinary Science, Biological Sciences,
Agribusiness and Economics, Agricultural Engineering, and
Agricultural Education.
A reorganization was instituted in 1982 that dissolved the
Technical Agriculture Division and was replaced with the
creation of the College of Agriculture, Engineering and
Forestry with nine departments.
These departments were: Plant Science, Animal and Veterinary
Science, Crop Protection, Soil Science, Forestry, Agricultural
Business and Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Mechanics,
Agricultural Engineering, and Agroforestry Technical
Curriculum.
The Department of Agricultural Extension was added in 1984.
Having grown in terms of faculty, facilities and programs, the
MSAC’s organizational scheme had to be restructured into
various colleges which was implemented in 1985. This also
paved way for the division of the College of Agriculture,
Engineering and Forestry into three colleges with the College
of Agriculture retaining the BSA and BSAB in its curricular
offerings.
In 1986, MSAC was elevated to Benguet State University by
PD 2010. The College was the biggest college with nine
departments.
In 1991, the Two-year Agroforestry Curriculum was
transferred from the College of Forestry to the
College of
Agriculture creating the Department of Agroforestry.

In 1992, Sericulture was offered as a new major field in BSA
and in 1993, Agroforestry was added. The BSA Curriculum
was revised in 1993 pursuant to DECS Order No. 52, S. 1992
and No. 3, S. 1993.
In 1999, the Bachelor of Science in Development Communication was offered.
In 2000, BSU had been adjudged as one of the six centers of
excellence in Agriculture Education out of 111 SUC’s. In 2009,
the College regained its status as Center of Development in
BSA. In addition, the BSA degree was accredited as Level III
by AACCUP since 2007.
In 2010, it was distinguished as one of the National Universities and Colleges for Agriculture program by the Commission
on Higher
Education– National Agriculture and Fisheries
System.
It is the leading College in the Philippines to offer academic
program on Organic Agriculture.
Today, the College of Agriculture continues to shine through
the awards and recognitions received by faculty, staff and
students in various fields of endeavors.
