History

Early years

The beginning of Batangas State University's history could be traced way back on 1903 when Manual Training School was founded under the supervision of an American principal, Mr. Scheer on its present site in Batangas City. Two years later it was named Batangas Trade School, admitting only male students for gainful occupations such as woodworking. It was destroyed by a fire on 1928 until classes resumed on 1932. Classes was closed again after World War II broke out in the Philippines.[6][7][8]

After the war, the school resumed activities under the leadership of Mr. Vicente Mendoza as principal. The school was rebuilt on 1948 under the Rehabilitation Act of 1946 as it began to admit female students for cosmetology and food and garments' trades.[9][10]

Pablo Borbon era

Five years later after the rehabilitation act, the school was named Pablo Borbon National Trade School and further gaining a national status under the Republic Act 746 authored by Congressman Babao. It was renamed as Pablo Borbon Regional School of Arts and Trades on July 1, 1957. By August the same that year, the newly appointed school superintendent Arsenio Gaularan started to offer technical courses. He was followed by Vicente Mendoza on November 1962 and then succeeded by Rosario De Leon the next year. The latter's administration started to offer terminal classes in auto-mechanics, electronics, dressmaking, machine shop practice and, radio mechanics. This was followed on 1965 when Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education was offered after the Republic Act 4372 took effect.[11][12][13][14][15]

As authorized by the Republic Act 5270 on 1968, Pablo Borbon Regional School of Arts and Trades was converted into a state college under its new name, Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology (PBMIT) with Rosauro de Leon as its first president. At the time of its conversion, it was the 23rd state college in the Philippines. Later on 1971, PBMIT started to offer Electrical and Mechanical Engineering courses. Three years later, Civil Engineering was offered. The same that year, the Graduate School was opened pioneering master's program such as Master of Arts in Industrial Education major in Administration and Supervision. This was followed on 1978 when Master of Management specializes in Business and Public Managements was offered on consortium with UP College of Public Administration.

By 1991, courses such as Bachelor of Arts in Development Communication and Bachelor of Science in Biology were offered.[25][26][27]

The Secondary Department known as the Laboratory School was given a newly technology-based curriculum for engineering in 1993 as Maxima B. Ramos assumed principal. During that time, PBMIT's Laboratory School alongside with Philippine Science High School and Quezon City Science High School were the only technological-based curriculum schools in the Philippines.[28]
