History [edit]

The Middelbare Landbouwschool Buitenzorg in the 1920s

The school traces its origins to the Buitenzorg Landbouw Hogeschool, founded in 1903 by Melchior Treub. The Department of Agriculture and Forestry was established 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 changed its name to the University of Indonesia in 1950.

In 1963 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.
