History

Mindanao State University-Maguindanao was originally known as MSU Dinaig Agricultural and Technical College (MSU-DATC). "Dinaig" was the former name of Datu Odin Sinsuat until it was renamed in 1994 by virtue of Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 29 during the Second Assembly. [6]

The campus began its operations in 1973 with only 7faculty members, 15 administrative personnel, and an initial enrollment of 126 students. In its early years, the university offered only three courses: Agriculture, Forestry, and Community Development. Initially, classes were conducted at the grandstand of Dalican (Poblacion) Pilot Elementary School. However, in 1975, all the school facilities were destroyed in a fire. Following this event, the then mayor of Dinaig, Datu Odin Sinsuat, donated and sold a portion of his 55-hectare property, which now serves as the university's current campus. [4]

MSU-Maguindanao was granted fiscal autonomy by virtue of BOR Resolution no. 48 in 1982. It was later renamed to its current name by virtue of BOR Resolution No. 561, series of 1982.
