University of the Philippines Los Baños

Established in 1908, UPLB is steeped in the same tradition of honor and excellence upheld by UP. UPLB’s forebears generated countless breakthroughs in research and established trailblazing leadership in agriculture, veterinary medicine, and forestry education in the country and in Southeast Asia. Its pioneering programs in these fields have been the models and norms of colleges and universities offering the same programs nationwide. The younger programs have, likewise, become models for universities in the Philippines and in the Southeast Asian region. These are in the fields of engineering, environmental science, development communication, economics and management, policy and governance, human ecology, information and communication technology, human and environmental management, and basic sciences.
