A globally-engaged higher education institution of agriculture and allied disciplines.
Bulacan Agricultural State College (BASC) remains the first and only state-run higher educational institution of agriculture in Bulacan. For the past 23 years of existence as a state college, it has become an educational anchor for the poor but deserving students in Bulacan and the whole Central Luzon Region in the Philippines. It is one of the 55 out of 106 State Universities and Colleges in the country with Level III status based on CMO No. 09, s. 2019 issued by the Commission on Higher Education.
Unprecedented growth in all its programs has been paying off especially in terms of educational benefits to countless students and families in the region. As it undergoes the process of transforming into a state university, BASC remains committed to offer the best that the students could possibly get in a truly accessible, relevant and quality education, hence, the motto: “Shaping Minds, Transforming Lives”.
