Extension as an institutional function started sometime in 1974 under the stewardship of Jose Lacson under the name, Extramural Studies and extension Services (ESES). Its main program component was Rural Life Development, hence the Institute of Rural Life Development (later renamed as Institute of Rural Life Technology (IRLT) which offered a four-year secondary agri-based program in 1975. Graduates of the program were encouraged to enter into two-year vocational course which was also agri-based, a response to the government thrust of promoting agricultural development in the countryside under the directory of Prof. Rizal V.Ganiban.Then in 1983, it the ESES was reestablished as a separate office directly under the office of the College President with Professor Adoracion Y. Nogoy. It offered non-formal education program which aimed to help the out-of-school youth, continuing education and special projects in enhancing the effectiveness of other sectors. The office was also tasked to monitor income generating projects of the college. Believing that the extension is not only for the outside clients, projects like success lessons and evaluation for the faculty and staff were also initiated and taken care of by the office.
The Alumni Affairs Office (AAO) was established in 1995 during the term of Dr. Rodolfo Y. Baking in order to ensure the smooth and proper coordination between the alumni and administration of the University. In 1998, when Dr. Dolores G.Matias became the University President, the AAO was transferred to the Office of the Vice President for Development and Public Affairs under the supervision of the then Vice President, Dr. Noel H. Mallari. Shortly, this office was renamed and the AAO was under the Office of the Vice President for Planning, Research and Extension (VP-PRE) where all matters on external affairs of the University were facilitated. At present, the Alumni Affairs Office is a unit under the Office of the Vice President for Institutional Linkages and External Affairs and is headed by its director Prof.Maria Teresa C. Agustin. The Office is mandated to serve as the link between alumni and the administration and to strengthen the utmost support, participation and commitment of Tarlac State University’s various graduates.
Being the premier center learning in the province of Tarlac, the beginning of the Tarlac State University (TSU) are synchronous with the beginning of public education in this heartland of Central Luzon and the whole Philippines. The early and dominant image of TSU among the people of Tarlac was its being a trade school, and its origin as such could be traced to as early as 1906, when the director of public instruction mandated the offering of intermediate grades and selected areas in the country to cater to industrial and vocational courses.In 1909, under the auspices of the provincial government and the Provincial High School, this school begun to in secondary students in its fold. By 1921, it had evolved into a full secondary school. In 1931, the trade school was annexed to Tarlac High School during the principal ship of Russel Taylor – a status it maintained until he onset and the end of the Second World War.
In 1946, immediately after the war, Tarlac Trade School was officially separated from the Tarlac High School, with the appointment of Manuel T. Espinosa as its principal. More than a decade later, in 1959, the Congress of the Philippines approved House Bill 1006, jointly sponsored by Congressmen Constancio Castaneda and Jose Roy, converting Tarlac Trade School into Tarlac School of Arts and Trades (TSAT); with Mr. Espinosa also becoming its first Superintendent. As a nationalized academic institution, TSAT began to Offer collegiate technical education courses in the province.
In 1965, through the passage of Republic Act 4337, TSAT acquired its full-fledged status as a college, the Tarlac College of Technology (TCT). Among other provisions, the law called for the merging of TSAT with Tarlac National Agricultural School in Camiling, Tarlac. Dr. Mario Manese was appointed as its first president (1965-1972), who introduced the courses teacher education and engineering.
Prof. Jack Smith replaced Dr. Manese in 1972 as TCT President. It was his early tenure when Presidential Decree 609 was mandated in 1974, which instructed the separation of TCT from its agricultural component, which became the present Tarlac College of Agriculture in Camiling. Smith’s lengthy stay in TCT saw its expansion as a state college, particularly with the acquisition of a 10-hectare lot in Barrios Ungot and Maliwalo that came to be known as Lucinda Campus and which eventually became the site of the Laboratory School and various agro-industrial projects of the institution. This campus, about 7 kilometers from main campus, was donated by the family of Serafin G. David on August 29, 1973 and named after the family matriarch Lucinda David.
In 1976, the TCT organized the Graduate School with academic programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts in Education, with majors in Guidance in Counseling and Educational Management. In 1978, the TCT set-up degree programs in Master of Public Administration, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and the revised two-year Trade Technical Education, and in 1983, the Bachelors of Science in Architecture and Elementary Education.
Dr. Ernesto Cosme was designated Officer-in-Charge in September 1984, eventually becoming TCT’s third and last president.It was during his administration that R.A. 6764was signed into law by then President Corazon C. Aquino on October 13, 1989, converting TCT into Tarlac State University (TSU); thereby serving as its acting president. The conversion was made possible through the sponsorship of Tarlac’s three congressional district congressmen namely, Jose Cojuangco Jr., Jose Yap and Hermie Aquino. Dr. Cosmes’s stay in both the TCT and TSU saw the further expansion of the physical structure and academic programs. Modern buildings rose on the 1.2 hectare Main Campus and the 10 hectare Lucinda Campus. Additional programs were opened, such as Doctor of Education Management in Consortium with the Technological University of the Philippines (TUP), Bachelor in Secondary Education, Bachelor of Science and Accountancy, Business Administration major in Entrepreneurship, Chemistry, and Bachelor of Arts and Social Sciences.
