HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

The University has its humble beginning in 1906 as the Indang Intermediate School with the
American “ Thomasites” as the first teachers. Several transformations in the name of the school took
place. In 1918 – Indang Farm School, 1927 – Indang Rural High School and then to Don Severino National
Agricultural in 1958. The name Don Severino is donated in the Aguinaldo revolutionary government.
Don Severino donated a tract of land for use as field laboratory by the School.

AS A ATATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE

In 1964, the School was converted into a State College by virtue of Republic Act No. 3917 and
became known as Don Severino Agricultural College.

In the beginning of its establishment as a State College, the only program offering was
baccalaureate degree in agriculture including the teacher training program in agriculture education.
However, due to the demands of parents and in answer to the challenges of Project CALABARZON,
major program units such as Arts and Sciences, Education, and Engineering were created in addition to
the School of Agriculture in 1992.
