Pangasinan State University

Pangasinan State University (Filipino: Pamantasang Pampamahalaan ng Pangasinan), also referred to by its acronym PSU or PangSU,) is a public university in Pangasinan province, Philippines. The university was founded in its current form in 1979, although its origins trace back to the 1920s. PSU is notable for its many locations throughout the province of Pangasinan. It is mandated to provide advanced instruction in the arts, agricultural and natural sciences as well as in technological and professional fields. Its main campus is located in Lingayen, Pangasinan. Other campuses are located in Alaminos, Asingan, Bayambang, Binmaley, Infanta, San Carlos City, Santa Maria, and Urdaneta City. The PSU School of Advanced Studies (SAS) is located in Urdaneta City and the Open University Systems (OUS) is located in Lingayen Campus.

The Pangasinan State University (PSU) was chartered by Presidential Decree No. 1497 promulgated on June 11, 1978. It became fully operational on July 1, 1979. The university is an integration of the college courses of six government-supported institutions in the province with the Central Luzon Teachers College (CLTC) as the only tertiary education component then. The Western Pangasinan College of Agriculture created through P.D. No. 1494 was also integrated although it was not yet operational at the time of integration. The Central Luzon Teachers College maintains laboratory units in the elementary and secondary levels.

Specifically, the college courses of the following schools were integrated into the new system:

PSU System is composed of nine campuses, a graduate school and open university, located in different parts of Pangasinan. Each campus of PSU is headed by a campus executive director.

Each unit is headed by an executive director. As of 2005, PSU is one of the ten universities offering the Open University System with six identified learning centers in the province of Pangasinan and has expanded its services in Region III and Visayas.

PSU Board of Regents, composed of 12 members, is the highest decision-making body of the PSU system. It could be chaired by Commission on Higher Education chairman/commissioner. Other members are the president of the university, senate and house representatives, government representatives, private sector representatives, PSU Federated Alumni Association, PSU Federated Faculty Association, and PSU Federated Student Association representatives.

PSU President is elected for a single term by the university's Board of Regents. The board can also choose to extend the term of the president based on substantial grounds and merits of the official's performance.
