MSU 55th Founding Anniversary

Mindanao State University (MSU)was established on September 1, 1961 through RA 1387, as amended, was the brain child of the late Senator Domocao A. Alonto, as one of the government’s responses to the so-called “Mindanao Problem”.
The original mission of the university was anchored on instruction, research and extension. The 1954 Congressional Committee conceptualized it as a social laboratory for national integration.
For the main campus in Marawi City starting with 282 students and 12 faculty members in its pioneering classes in 1962, it has grown to a multi-campus supra-regional university system, serving over 69,000 students in all levels with nearly 3,100 faculty members.
It is also the only university directly charged by the government to advance the cause of national unity and actively pursue integration through education.
Today, MSU has various units in areas which cut across the Mindanao regions. From a one campus university in Marawi City. MSU has grown to a multi-campus university of eight autonomous campuses, which include: MSU-Main in Marawi City, MSU-IIT in Iligan City, MSU-TCTO in Tawi-Tawi, MSU-Naawan in Misamis Oriental, MSU-Maguindanao, MSU-General Santos, MSU-Sulu in Jolo and MSU Buug in Zamboanga Sibugay.^[4]

Mindanao State University is located in northern part of Mindanao, Marawi City. This university is also known as the melting pot of the south. Some says that the real reason of building this institution is for the student all over the Philippines, with different culture and religion to unite and have a good relationship. They also say that it is built for the students with high dreams but not stable in terms of financially, basically, it is true because the University is known for having a cheap tuition but really good education.
