Brief Historical Background

Southern Luzon State University has its humble beginnings as national high school in early 60’s. Known as Lucban National High School and later as Lucban Community College, it rose to become the Lucban National College offering degree and non-degree courses, and had the first batch of Bachelor of Science in Commerce graduates in 1980. LNC was converted into a state college known as SLPC by virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg. 145 on February 8, 1982. The Two-Year Junior Secretarial course which was started no 1975 and the BSC degrees were among its offerings.

Four years after its conversion, the College of Trade and Industry, one of the seven schools in SLPC was later named School of Business Administration. It continued to offer BSC majors in Accounting, Management and Marketing as well as the Secretarial Course. In 1985, the school had its first Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and from then on it as continuously produced board passers some of whom are now globally positioned.
