History

Batas Pambansang Blg. 91, signed by Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos on December 4, 1980, merged the Mambusao Agricultural and Technical College (MATEC) and the Capiz Agricultural and Fishery School (CAFS) to become the Panay State Polytechnic College (PSPC).

On August 29, 1981, Dr. Ernesto V. Botin took his oath of office as first PSPC president and was reappointed in 1986 by President Corazon C. Aquino and his term ended on July 24, 1993.

Dr. Anthony N. Navarrosa, the executive vice-president, served as OIC until the appointment of the second president, Dr. Rochellir D. Dadivas took effect on October 12, 1994.

On November 4, 1998 the Capiz Institute of Technology became an integral part of the system as approved in the 54th Regular Board Meeting held at the CHED Conference Room, San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig City; however, the official turnover was on October 25, 1999 while the Sigma College of Science and Technology was formally turned over on December 19, 2000.

On September 15, 2000, the Board of Trustees approved the new organizational structure of the College with three (3) existing units, namely: the Roxas City Unit, the Mambusao Unit and the Pontevedra Unit. Each unit was headed by a chancellor.

The Mambusao Unit has six satellite campuses: the Burias Campus in Mambusao, Sapian Campus in Sapian, Tapaz Campus in Tapaz, Sigma Campus in Sigma, Dumarao Campus in Dumarao and Poblacion Mambusao Campus in Mambusao.

On July 7, 2008, Dr. Editha L. Magallanes became the third president of the University and also the first lady president of the Capiz State University. In 2009, the chancellor positions of the three units were abolished and each campus was headed by a campus administrator.
