CHAPTER 2
PROGRAMS

The Research and Development, Extension and Training (RDET) Program is composed of four
interrelated and inter-development sub-programs namely: a) Research and Development b) Extension and
Linkages c) Training and Communications and d) RDET-Related Special Projects . Through the years, the
university has developed its programs which now include Linkages and Communications. With the
improvement and advancement of research and extension tie-us locally and nationally, other specialized
centers can be established based on the university’s regional/ national commodity responsibilities.
