The Mindoro State University (MinSu) was originally the Mindoro National Agricultural School (MINAS) created by R.A. 506 as a national  agricultural secondary public school in the island of Mindoro. It formally opened its doors for learning on August 26, 1951. In 1963, by authority of R.A. 3758, it opened the Collegiate Department. This steered the offering of several collegiate courses. The first two years leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in agriculture (BSA) was initially offered. This was followed by the two-year course leading to Associate in Agricultural Technology (AAT) in 1973, then the complete course offering of Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education (BSAE) in 1975 and the BSA curriculum developed by the Technical Panel for  Agricultural Education (TPAE) based at Los Baños, Laguna was adopted by the school. This gradually replaced the BSA curriculum as well as the BSAE. The continued offering of Collegiate courses, in addition to the secondary curriculum which was offered since the founding of the school made MINAS a full-fledged college hence; the change of name from MINAS to MCAT was approved on June 10, 1976, by then Secretary Juan L. Manuel of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports. It was converted in State University and is now MinSu by virtue of R.A. 8007 on May 25, 1995. Virgilio  C.
