The college level courses of the Isabela School of Arts and Trades at Ilagan along with Jones Rural School at Jones, Roxas Memorial Agricultural and Industrial School at Roxas and San Mateo Vocational and Industrial School at San Mateo, were hereby transferred to the new university. Today, there are eleven campuses of the university system strategically located in the different municipalities of Isabela.
