Section 1. History
The Isabela State University (ISU) was established through the Presidential Decree 1434
by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos on June 10, 1978 merging two state colleges-Isabela
State College of Agriculture (ISCA) in Echague and Cagayan Valley Institute of Technology
(CVIT) in Cabagan. The said decree also transferred the college level programs of Isabela School
of Arts and Trades (ISAT) in Ilagan; San Mateo Vocational and Industrial School in San Mateo
and Jones Rural School in Jones to the new state university. The merger identified Echague
Campus as the main campus and administrative site and mandated the University to establish an
effective and efficient institution of higher learning that will provide better professional and
technical training in agriculture, arts, sciences, humanities and technology and in the conduct of
scientific researches and technological studies.
