History

The school traces its origins to the Landbouw Hogeschool, which has a Department of Agriculture and Forestry, started in 1940. It was closed during the Japanese occupation (1942–1945) and reopened in 1947. It was continued as the Facultiet voor Landbouw-wetenschappen. This and the Facultiet der Diergeneskunde (originally the College of Veterinary Medicine (PTKH)) were part of Universiteit van Indonesie which later changed its name in 1950 to the University of Indonesia.

In 1963, by decree of the Minister of Higher Education and Science (PTIP) No. 91, the Faculty of Agriculture and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine became Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB), as an independent institution from the University of Indonesia. At the time, IPB consisted of five faculties: Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Fisheries, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, and the Faculty of Forestry.
