BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE COLLEGE
Basilan State College (BaSC) can be traced back in 1966 when the institution started as the University of the Philippines (UP) Land Grant High School having two classes for each first year and second year levels with a total enrolment of 120 students, two-teachers serving on part-time basis. The sources of income for the teachers’ salaries were from tuition and yearly subsidy of P3, 000.00 from U.P Land Grant, Basilan.
After ten years, the school under the provisions of a Barangay Charter was converted to U.P. Sta. Clara Barangay High School. It was later named U.P. Sta Clara Agro-Industrial School when the curriculum was revised to meet the multicultural demands. It was geared towards the socio-economic country-side development of Basilan.
In 1978, the school formally functioned as the Basilan National Agro-Industrial School under P.D. 1303 dated February 15, 1978, with Annual Budget of Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Pesos (P650, 000.00) from the National Government. The Secondary Agriculture and Secondary Trade Curricula were offered under BE Circular Nos. 7 and
8. S. 1973, respectively. Considering the clamor for manpower skill training, a proposal for two-Year Technical Education Course and Two-Year Agriculture Technician Course by the Sangguniang Panlalawiganng Basilan was approved by the Ministry of Budget on March 6, 1981. Through the cooperative efforts of the late Assemblyman Kalbi B. Tupay, retired Basilan Superintendent Dr. Antonio C. Sebastian, Jr. and retired School Administrator Mr. Maximo L. Eisma, Sr., the school became a Basilan National Agro-Industrial College under BP Blg. 363 dated April 7, 1973.
Attempts to establish a State College were made as early as 1983 by the different sectors—the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Basilan, the Sangunianng Bayan of Isabela, the Basilan National High School Parent-Teacher Association, the PTA League of Basilan and the LupongTagapagpaganapngPook. A task force was created by the School Division Superintendent and the Basilan National High School PTA to prepare the feasibility study after conducting a survey on possible course enrolment and high percentage of qualified faculty.
BASILAN STATE COLLEGE
At this point in time the MNLF Chairman of Basilan, Gerry A. Salapuddin, returned to the folds of the Law. One of his requests when he met with Pres. Fedinand E. Marcos was that a State College be established in Basilan for the Basileňos. Recognizing the urgency of such need and after consultation with development planners of Region IX the Basilan National Agro-Industrial College in Sta. Clara, Lamitan Municipality was converted to Basilan State College by virtue of Presidential Decree 1983 on June 27, 1984.

In order to bring low-cost education programs closer to a greater number of students. . Dr. Carolina Q. San Luis, first President of Basilan State College made representation with then mayor Alvin G. Dans who, through Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No. 947 s. 1984, effected the site where Basilan State College is now located .
