Mindanao State University–Buug is the eighth autonomous campus of the Mindanao State University System located in Datu Panas, Buug, Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines.
The Mindanao State University–Buug (MSU-Buug) was established in 1971 as MSU-Buug Community High School. It was subsidized by MSU-Marawi Campus from 1974 by virtue of BOR Resolution No. 1030.
In 1982, the school was elevated to collegiate level and renamed as MSU-Buug College. It was authorized to offer general college courses by virtue of BOR Resolution Nos. 492 and 492-B, respectively. It was subsequently authorized to offer complete courses in Agriculture, Forestry, Education and Arts through BOR Resolution No. 55, series of 1989.
Despite this elevation into a collegiate unit, MSU Buug operated under its budget as high school entity. It was placed under the direct supervision of the Office of the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (External Studies). In 2002, by virtue of Special Order No. 581-OP, MSU-Buug was revitalized by the modification of its structure which subsequently transferred the supervision of the Unit to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. MSU-Buug then became one of the colleges of Mindanao State University System (MSUS) and such, it was headed by a Director/Dean.
MSU Buug is composed of eight colleges - the College of Agriculture, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education, College of Fisheries, College of Forestry and Environmental Studies, College of Hospitality Management, College of Information Technology, and College of Public Affairs; a graduate school (School of Graduate Studies), a senior high school, and a laboratory junior high school (College of Education Training Department).
All freshmen applicants should take and pass the Mindanao State University System Admission and Scholarship Examination (SASE).
