Fifteen years after the first attempt to become a state university, Mountain Province State Polytechnic College (MPSPC) is due to finally be upgraded after the law for its upgrading has been signed and approved by the appropriate authorities.

 

The college, established in 1973, started out as a community college and was upgraded to state college status in 1992, almost two full decades since its creation. Another two decades later, it has finally become a state university, with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signing into law Republic Act No. 12016 on August 1, and the subsequent approval of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

“MPSPC has met and complied with the CHED standards for conversion to a state university as required by the law based on the evaluation and validation of the CHED Composite Team,” the commission said in a statement on Wednesday, August 28, one day after formally approving the upgrading of the college into a state university.

 

The bid to formally transition into a state university, the highest level of state-funded higher education institute, started in 1999, according to MPSPC president Edgar Cue, when lawmakers filed bills to attempt to upgrade MPSPC’s standing 15 years ago.

 

Now set to become Mountain Province State University (MPSU), Cue pledged that the newly

 minted university will uphold stringent standards and focus on quality research, in addition to its efforts in providing quality education to an average of 5,000 enrollees that the institute sees annually.

 

Additionally, MPSU has received global accolades in recent years and has improved its board passing rates, recently earning a 100 percent certificate of compliance.

 

“After years of persistent efforts, the entire MPSPC community can now celebrate the remarkable accomplishment of upholding high standards in delivering quality higher education, highlighted by the recent issuance of a 100% Certificate of Compliance,” MPSPC Board of Regents Chairperson Commissioner Marita Canapi said in a statement.
