Benguet State University is a state university located in the municipality of La Trinidad in the province of Benguet in the Philippines.[1]

It was originally named Trinidad Farm School, which was later changed to Trinidad Agricultural School (TAS). From TAS its name was changed to Trinidad Agricultural High School (TAHS). When the school was nationalized its name was again changed to Mountain National Agricultural School (MNAS). It was soon converted into the Mountain National College (MNAC); Mountain Agricultural College (MAC); and eventually, the Mountain State Agricultural College (MSAC) in 1969 through Republic Act 5923.[2]

On January 12, 1986, the school was converted into a chartered state university by virtue of Presidential Decree 2010.[3] At present Benguet State University is home to various Center of Excellence (COE) and Center of Development (COD) programs such as Agriculture, Education and Nursing.
