[edit] BSU at a glance

Originally known as Bukidnon Provincial High School, Bukidnon State College started as a two-year secondary school in 1924. Upon the authority of the Director of Education, William H. Pickell who was an American school superintendent for Bukidnon, established the school. It was first set up to train elementary school teachers for the provinces of Northern Mindanao and the neighboring regions. When it was renamed Bukidnon Normal School four years later, it started to offer a four year secondary normal curriculum, becoming one of five full-fledged secondary normal schools in the country at that time.

The school was closed on December 9, 1941 and did not reopen after World War II. It was reactivated on September 1, 1945 but since its facilities were completely damaged, rehabilitation work lasted until the 1950s.

The secondary normal curriculum gradually gave way to the two-year special collegiate teacher education course in 1952. This was followed by the introduction of the Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (BSEE) degree in 1956. In 1960, the graduate department was created offering for the first time, a master’s degree in education to encourage teachers to take advanced studies. Ten years later, external graduate studies centers were organized in a number of provinces and cities outside of Bukidnon in cooperation with the school divisions of the Department of Education to extend the services of the College to working teachers wanted to enroll in courses leading to Master of Arts in Education. These were usually held during weekends.

On December 15, 1961, Bukidnon Normal School was declared separate school division by virtue of Circular No. 33, s. 1961 issued by the Bureau of Public Schools, thus ending 37 years of administrative control by the division superintendent of schools for Bukidnon.

On June 14, 1976, Presidential Decree No. 944 simultaneously converted the Bukidnon Normal School, Cebu Normal School, Leyte Normal School and Northern Luzon Teachers College into chartered state colleges. Bukidnon Normal School will be remembered as the forerunner of the new institution that is now Bukidnon State College. As a state educational institution, the College is mandated by its charter (P.D. No. 944) “to provide professional and technical instruction of the fields of elementary, secondary, and collegiate education in science as well as in the humanities for its service area.”
