The Palawan State University History

The Palawan State University (PSU) has its humble beginnings as a teacher-training
institution known as Palawan Teacher’s College (PTC). The school was founded on
June 19, 1965 through Republic Act 4303 and has started operating since March 2,
1972. In 1984, PTC was recognized as Palawan State College by virtue of Batas
Pambansa 797 which authorized the school to offer other undergraduate degrees in
the Arts, Sciences and Technology. The conversion into a state university came a
decade later in November 12, 1994 through Republic Act 7818. After 48 years, the
Palawan State University emerged as the premier institute of higher learning in the
province of Palawan, with more than 26,000 students and almost 1000 faculty and
staff members.

The Palawan State University Coron Campus History

It had been 27 years ago when the idea of extending classes in Coron came
into being which was realized after two years of hard work and bringing the parties
into the table to provide educational opportunities not only to the people of Coron but
the whole Calamian Islands. The parties involved were the following: the Municipal
Governments of Coron, Culion, Linapacan and Busuanga who all pleaded to provide
their municipal aids to shoulder the operational expenses of the extramural studies
center, (The Municipality of Coron under the leadership of the late Hon. Mayor
Alberto Enriquez, Jr separately promised to find a suitable school site as the host
municipality, and fulfilled that promise through a lot donation from the Fernandez
Family), the Palawan State University under the leadership of the late Dr. Crispiniano
Acosta, Sr. which promised to lend the university’s management expertise and
curricular offerings, and the Parents-Teachers Council under the leadership of Mrs.
Rosa Palao Pinoon, a retired teacher herself.
With the ever-present assistance of the parents and of the Local Government
of Coron, PSU remained steadfast in its commitment to deliver quality tertiary
education to the countryside. From 1994 to 1996, classes are held at Coron School

Module 1: PSU Mission, Vision and Shared Values
of Fisheries with 111 students, by 1996 to 2003, classes were held at PNP Barracks and
by 2003 to present, the campus resides in a 1.5 hectares donated lot by the
Fernandez family.
From the initial three courses namely AB Political Science, Bachelor of Elementary
Education and Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship, PSU Coron now boasts of
seven programs/majors to wit, Bachelor of Elementary Education, Bachelor of
Secondary Education major in English, Bachelor of Science in Tourism, Bachelor of
Science in Hospitality Management, Bachelor of Science in Criminology, Bachelor of
Science in Business Administration majors in Financial Management and Marketing
Management.
These are the programs which are subject to the current evaluation for
accreditation, of which 5 programs are for Level One Accreditation after having
undergone PSV last 2016, and 2 programs are for the Preliminary Survey Visits.
among the programs offered, the Bachelor of Science in Criminology was as of the
moment has the program compliance (COPC) from the Commission on Higher
Education while the remaining programs are subject for compliance.
With the expansion of its curricular offering, the population of PSU Coron
grew dramatically and it is now considered as one of the biggest external campuses
in North Palawan though at present, the drop-in enrollment is attributable to the
introduction of the K-12 program of the Department of Education. At present, the
PSU Coron provides 1,849 professional graduates with a satisfactory employment
rate.
PSU – Coron Campus Goals and Objectives
“The Palawan State University – Coron is committed to democratize
education in the locality by bringing quality tertiary education at the doorsteps of
every Calamianon through the offering of courses relevant to the socio-economic
progress of the Calamianes group of island Municipalities. It aims to produce a
workforce that is composed of holistically molded and trained individuals who
possess global skills in the fields of education, criminal justice, business, and
hospitality service and tourism industry.”
