The Surigao State College of Technology is a public state college in the Philippines. It is mandated to provide higher vocational, professional and technological instruction and training in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, engineering and sciences, as well as short-term technical courses. It is also mandated to provide primary consideration to the integration of research/studies for the development of the Province of Surigao del Norte.[1] Its main campus is located in Surigao City.[2]
History[]
In 1969, the school was established as Surigao School of Arts and Trades. In 1998, the school was renamed Surigao State College of Technology after it merged with Malimono School of Fisheries.
Elevation to university status[]
On June 4, 2013, Surigao del Norte State University was established under Rep. Act 10600, integrating Surigao del Norte State College of Technology with Siargao National College of Science and Technology in Del Carmen and the Surigao del Norte College of Agriculture and Technology in Mainit. The name change is still yet to be implemented after it was amended by RA 11010 that the institution shall retain its status prior to the effectivity of this Act until it is able to comply with CHED requirements.[3]
