Cavite State University was established by the American Thomsites as a pioneer intermediate school in 1906. Its first teachers were American Thomasites recruited from United Sates Armed Forces. Mr. C.E Workman was its first Principal.


The school was established initially as an [[intermediate school]] by the [[Thomasites]], a group of American teachers brought by the United States during the early part of the [[History of the Philippines (1898-1946)|American colonial period]] to revamp the system of education in the country. By 1964, the school has grown into a college known as the Don Severino Agricultural College (DSAC). It became a [[university]] on January 22, 1998, and was renamed as the Cavite State University.
In 1915, the school had its first Filipino principal, Mr. Mariano Mondero. Intermediate classes were maintained with emphasis on vacational agriculture for boys and domestic science for girls. In 1918, the name of the school was changes to Indang Farm School.


The Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) recently conferred the award to Cavite State University (CvSU) as top performing state university during the annual national conference held at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel, Cebu City, 7 – 9 March. In 2016, CvSU was also recognized as one of the top ten performing State Universities and Colleges in accreditation, capturing the rank 7 spot. The university is also one of the top three performing schools in the criminology program in the country.
As years passed by, enrollment increased. The school site expanded through the land donations of civic -minded citizens of Indang like Don Severino delas Alas, Secretary of Interior in the Aguinaldo cabinet and Francisco Ocampo.


Since then, the university has grown offering 141 programs in the undergraduate and graduate levels. It has more than 44,000 students and almost 1,700 faculty and staff from eleven campuses at the end of academic year 2020-2021.<ref name=about>[http://www.cvsu.edu.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=339&Itemid=55 "About CvSU"].

The university has eleven colleges in its main campus in Indang. Originally an agricultural school, CvSU has grown to become a comprehensive university offering 43 undergraduate degrees, a degree in veterinary medicine, a Doctor of Medicine degree, 13 masters degrees and 3 degrees leading to a Ph.D.

When the Don Severino National Agricultural School was elevated to a state college in 1964, it started to offer its first undergraduate degrees in two fields: agriculture and agricultural education. This department would later be the origin of the three other colleges in the Indang campus. In 2005, it was renamed the College of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Natural Resources. Today, it offers degrees in agriculture, food technology, and environmental sciences. In 2016, it was recognized as a Center of Excellence in Agriculture by the Commission on Higher Education, one of only eight in the country.<ref>{{cite web |title=CvSU designated as center of excellence in agriculture |url=https://www.pressreader.com/philippines/philippine-daily-inquirer-1109/20160308/282368333740005 |website=Press Reader |publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer |access-date=14 April 2023}}</ref>

The Graduate School was established in 1985 with the first postgraduate degrees of the college: master of science in agricultural education; animal husbandry and agronomy.

In 1992, the college reorganized its departments in preparation for its elevation as a university. Four departments emerged and were elevated into schools: Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Education and Engineering. After DSAC's successful elevation into a state university in 1998, all schools were renamed colleges. In addition, two more colleges were created: the College of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation; and the College of Economics, Management and Development Studies.

In the 2000s, new academic divisions were created. The College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences was separated from the College of Agriculture in 2000. The College of Nursing was established in 2005 as a result of rapid growth from its initial status of a program in the College of Arts and Sciences in 2003. And then finally, in 2010, the College of Criminal Justice was established.

Most recently, in 2022, the College of Medicine started to admit students.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Asido |first1=Daniel |title=Cavite State University to offer the Doctor of Medicine program |url=https://thepost.net.ph/news/campus/cavite-state-u-to-offer-doctor-of-medicine-program/ |website=Philippine Online Student Tambayan |access-date=14 April 2023}}</ref> It is the newest college of the main campus. It is also the second public medical school in the [[Calabarzon|Southern Tagalog region]], after the medical school of the [[Batangas State University]].

The university also manages basic education units in its Indang campus, namely the Child Development Center offering pre-school and elementary programs; and the Laboratory Science High School, offering both junior and senior high school programs. The Naic, Rosario and Silang campuses hosts junior and senior high school programs.

In 2024, the main campus accepted only 7,507 out of 54,203 applicants. This represents an 13.85% acceptance rate.<ref>{{cite web |title=Admission Result for First Semester, SY 2024-2025 – Cavite State University |url=https://cvsu.edu.ph/2024/05/admission-result-for-sy-2024-2025/|website=Cavite State University - Announcements |access-date=7 May 2024}}</ref>

Cavite State University (CvSU; Filipino: Pamantasang Pampamahalaan ng Cavite[1]), also more known locally as Kabsu, is a public university in the province of Cavite in the Philippines. Its 70-hectare (170-acre) main campus, known as the Don Severino delas Alas Campus, is located in the Municipality of Indang, Cavite about 60 km (37 mi) southwest of Manila. The educational institution has twelve other campuses spread all over the province.

The school was established initially as an intermediate school by the Thomasites, a group of American teachers brought by the United States during the early part of the American colonial period to revamp the system of education in the country. By 1964, the school has grown into a college known as the Don Severino Agricultural College (DSAC). It became a university on January 22, 1998, and was renamed as the Cavite State University.

The Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) recently conferred the award to Cavite State University (CvSU) as top performing state university during the annual national conference held at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel, Cebu City, 7 – 9 March. In 2016, CvSU was also recognized as one of the top ten performing State Universities and Colleges in accreditation, capturing the rank 7 spot. The university is also one of the top three performing schools in the criminology program in the country.

Since then, the university has grown offering 141 programs in the undergraduate and graduate levels. It has more than 44,000 students and almost 1,700 faculty and staff from eleven campuses at the end of academic year 2020-2021.[2][3]

The state university was first established by the Thomasites as an intermediate school, named Indang Intermediate School in 1906 with C.E. Workman its first principal. Subsequently, Americans Henry Wise and Joseph Coconower succeeded Workman as the school's principal. In 1915, the school had its first Filipino principal, Mariano Mondoñedo. The school's focused on vocational agriculture for boys and domestic science for girls. In 1918, the name of the school was changed to Indang Farming School.

As enrollment increased, the school site was expanded through the land donations of the citizens of Indang, including Francisco Ocampo and Don Severino de las Alas, Secretary of Interior during the Aguinaldo cabinet. In 1927, the school was renamed Indang Rural High School, during the incumbency of principal Simeon Madlangsakay. It first offered a secondary courses in vocational agriculture in 1923 and Home Economics in 1927.

CvSU Science High School occupies the Gabaldon buildings originally used by Indang Rural High School. These structures are the oldest in the Indang campus.

In recognition of the generosity of Don Severino de las Alas to the community, the province of Cavite and the nation, the name of the institution was changed to Don Severino National Agricultural School in 1958 by a congressional action.

Don Severino Agricultural College

[edit]

The agricultural school was converted into a state college in 1964 by virtue of Republic Act No. 3917. Under this Act, the school was given its own charter and became known as Don Severino Agricultural College (DSAC).

In 1967, Santiago M. Rolle was appointed as the first college president. In 1971, Certificate in Technical Agriculture was offered. Dr. Sotero L. Lasap designed a new logo for DSAC in 1978. Its shape is like a spaceship supposed to symbolize carrying DSAC to its desired destination.

During the preparatory stage from 1983–1987, Dr. Ruperto S Sangalang became the officer-in-charge of the college.

The transition stage from 1988–1992 strengthened the instructional, research and extension programs through the implementation of the Institutional Development Assistance and Cooperation Project.[4]

Ladislao Diwa Memorial Library

Laya at Diwa Monument

[edit]

The Laya at Diwa brass artwork displayed at the main entrance to the Indang campus is meant to represent the university's vision of "truth, excellence and service". The monument is a creation of Jonnel P. Castrillo of Imus, Cavite. It was inaugurated on December 15, 2006, by Senator Edgardo J. Angara during the university's centenary celebration. [10]

The artwork has five major elements. The first is the unchained female figure, holding a book, her arms interlocked with the male figure. The male figure holds a pen and a torch. The flame of the torch carries the letters CvSU for Cavite State University. Finally, the child figure, in a dynamic pose atop the pillar behind the male & female figure, reaches out a dove, the universal symbol peace and freedom.[10]

The university has eleven colleges in its main campus in Indang. Originally an agricultural school, CvSU has grown to become a comprehensive university offering 43 undergraduate degrees, a degree in veterinary medicine, a Doctor of Medicine degree, 13 masters degrees and 3 degrees leading to a Ph.D.

When the Don Severino National Agricultural School was elevated to a state college in 1964, it started to offer its first undergraduate degrees in two fields: agriculture and agricultural education. This department would later be the origin of the three other colleges in the Indang campus. In 2005, it was renamed the College of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Natural Resources. Today, it offers degrees in agriculture, food technology, and environmental sciences. In 2016, it was recognized as a Center of Excellence in Agriculture by the Commission on Higher Education, one of only eight in the country.[13]

The Graduate School was established in 1985 with the first postgraduate degrees of the college: master of science in agricultural education; animal husbandry and agronomy.

In 1992, the college reorganized its departments in preparation for its elevation as a university. Four departments emerged and were elevated into schools: Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Education and Engineering. After DSAC's successful elevation into a state university in 1998, all schools were renamed colleges. In addition, two more colleges were created: the College of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation; and the College of Economics, Management and Development Studies.

In the 2000s, new academic divisions were created. The College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences was separated from the College of Agriculture in 2000. The College of Nursing was established in 2005 as a result of rapid growth from its initial status of a program in the College of Arts and Sciences in 2003. And then finally, in 2010, the College of Criminal Justice was established.

Most recently, in 2022, the College of Medicine started to admit students.[14] It is the newest college of the main campus. It is also the second public medical school in the Southern Tagalog region, after the medical school of the Batangas State University.

The university also manages basic education units in its Indang campus, namely the Child Development Center offering pre-school and elementary programs; and the Laboratory Science High School, offering both junior and senior high school programs. The Naic, Rosario and Silang campuses hosts junior and senior high school programs.

In 2024, the main campus accepted only 7,507 out of 54,203 applicants. This represents an 13.85% acceptance rate.[15]

Research and Extension

[edit]

In 2008, the university started to host the Southern Tagalog Agriculture, Aquatic and Resources Research, Development and Extension Consortium (STAARDEC). It is a regional consortium that facilitates collaboration amongst its members to boost sustainable agro-industrial development in the Region IV-A. Today, it has 21 member institutions, including state universities and colleges, research and development institutions and government agencies.[16]

The university also publishes its official peer-reviewed journal, the CvSU Research Journal, bi-annually.[17]

Research Centers

[edit]

Cavite State University hosts several research centers.

The Affiliated Renewable Energy Center (AREC) for Region IV-A was established in 1987, one of the first in the country. It is tasked to "encourag[e], and accelerat[e] the exploration, development and utilization of renewable energy resources" in the country. AREC is now known for its expertise in biogas technology. It has produced faculty with specialization in renewable energy and has produced patents for biogas technology.[18]

The National Coffee Research, Development and Extension Center (NCRDEC) was established in 2005. It leads the nation for coffee research and development with the goal of putting back Filipino coffee back into the international market.[19]

On the other hand, the Sugar Palm Research, Information, and Trade Center (SPRINT Center) was established in 2010, aiming to develop research on sugar palm (kaong).[20]

In 2014, the CvSU Bee Program commenced operations. It aims to promote the practice of beekeeping in the province of Cavite and surrounding areas. It also conducts research to improve beekeeping practices and post-harvest technologies. In 2023, the program was renamed Bee Research, Innovation, Trade, and Extension Center (BRITE Center).[21]

The Simulation, Modelling and Measurement Laboratory (SiMM Lab) was inaugurated in 2021. It assists researchers to simulate machines and devices for prototyping. It was established in cooperation with the Philippine Department of Science and Technology.[22]
