History

Lucban National High School and Lucban Community College changed its name to Lucban National College on August 30, 1977. Vocational Technology is one of the first to offer courses like Furniture Making, Sheet Metal, Welding and Woodworking. So, when the Lucban National College change into a State College – Southern Luzon Polytechnic College through Batas Pambansa Blg. 145, Vocational Technology was already there but it was put under the supervision of the College of Trade and Industry (School of Business Administration) then College of Engineering (School of Engineering) and limit their course offering into Furniture and Cabinet Making, General Metal Works and Girls’ Vocational Trade and Food and Beverage Technology. At first, there were only a small number of students who enrolled in the aforementioned courses. As enrollment increased, Vocational Technology courses eventually were separated from the College of Engineering and recognized as Institute of Vocational Technology. Ladderized programs in Automotive Technology, Rough Carpentry, Garment Technology, Electrical Technology, Electronics Technology, Mechanical Technology, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology and Welding and Fabrication Technology two (2) and three(3) year courses were offered.

In the Academic Year 1997-1998, the program was upgraded into the ladderized Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology (BSIT), a four-year degree program with specialization in Automotive, Electrical, Electronics, Garment, Mechanical, and Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology. Three- Year ladderized Diploma

courses in Civil, Food and Beverage, Industrial Design, and Welding and Fabrication Technology were also offered. The following Academic Year, 1998-1999, these diploma courses were upgraded and added to the BSIT degree program. Revision of the BSIT program offering was approved by the BOT Resolution No. 308 and 309 s. 2001 with the inclusion of the Computer Technology. The name School of Technology was changed to School of Industrial Technology during the Academic Year 2002-2003.

Republic Act No. 9395 added a new mile stone in the rich history of the Institution. This act converting the Southern Luzon Polytechnic College, its units and satellite campuses into a State University authorizing offering of other degrees/courses that may deemed necessary to carry out its objectives and meet the needs of the province and the region. The university is now known as the Southern Luzon State University.
