Introduction

The Isabela State University currently stands as the premiere Higher Education Institution in Region 02, and accordingly, it
is indisputably regarded as one of the top State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the country. With its growing

prestige, it is now zeroing in on its emerging international presence.

Notwithstanding this competitive stature, we will strive not to allow any room for complacency. Our dreams to further

improve our key result operations and be at all times distinguished for excellence, quality, and relevance are
deep-seated as we endeavor to be at par with the best universities. Thus, empowered to fully permeate through
globalized landscape. These are the reasons why we continue to evolve and reinvent our short-term plans and to pave our
way towards our desires and aspirations.

It is indeed paramount for us to recalibrate our strategic directions. Foremost, we will escalate our university status, to
meet international standards in all our educational pursuits. It therefore incumbent upon us to inspect and upgrade

the quality of our physical structures, equipment, amenities, and interconnectivity.

We will also institute rationalization of our academic programs in line with our core values on quality and relevant
academic programs. Particular initiatives will be the establishments of Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), Doctor of Dental

Medicine programs (DMD), and Lexicon IP, an innovative model on entrepreneurship.

The Research and Development (R&D) of the University, on the other hand, has made its reputation as an

exemplary Research institution in the regional, national, and international levels. We will continue to fortify and expand
our research base by taking advantage of this recognized position.

We will embody quality leadership with utmost integrity, transparency, stability, maturity, goodwill, respect, and

harmony as an empowered organization manned by responsive and responsible frontline service providers.

Moreover, we intend to capitalize on our expansive assets through corporate-style of revenue management generation

that is sustainable, self-reliant and stable. The University enjoys the advantage of having vast tracts of land which is
committed to harness them in full swing. In this regard, we will consider commercial and or industrial utilization
opportunities of idle swaths of land to boost our revenues and hopefully such revenues will progressively increase
