The University of Cagayan Valley is committed to empowering individuals through quality education, intellectual and technological advancement and values formation to make a difference in society.
The University of Cagayan Valley (UCV), formerly known as the Cagayan Colleges Tuguegarao (CCT) and Cagayan Teachers College (CTC), was founded in April 1948, from the rubbles and devastating aft...ermath of World War II. The country was still in economic chaos; most schools have been destroyed or burned and were being built and rehabilitated. There was a dearth of teachers all over the country and people were just getting over their travails and horrifying experiences during the war.
Tuguegarao was not spared by the war. The Japanese forces were everywhere.In fact, the Japanese Army had a large contingent quartered in the Old Selecta, a Ladies Dormitory owned and operated by the late Mrs. Caridad S. Ventura-Perez, located at the site now occupied by Dr. Matias Ponce Perez, Sr. Building. As a result of the bombings of American forces to destroy enemy installations, the Old Selecta as well as the whole “Centro” of Tuguegarao was reduced to ashes and only few buildings were left standing.
It was during the long war years while on evacuation that Atty. Matias Ponce Perez Sr. concretized his life-long dream and promise to the Cagayan electorate in the early 30’s of founding a school which can offer affordable higher education. At that time, there were no institutions of higher learning in Tuguegarao nor in nearby areas, that one had to go to Manila to obtain a college education.Atty. Perez had a great foresight. He had foreseen that after the war, there would be a great need for more schools, for better trained and more qualified teachers. During that period, even teachers in the public school needed to grow professionally as many of them were just high school or secondary normal college graduates. Thus, in April 1948, with the help of his friends, relative and some public school officials, and with the inspiration and guidance of his wife, Mrs. Caridad S. Ventura-Perez, the Cagayan Teachers College, now University of Cagayan Valley was born.The University of Cagayan Valley started modestly. Its course offering during its first year of academic operation was limited to Elementary Teacher’s Certificate. Soon after, other courses were offered.
Research is one of the thrusts of the Commission on Higher Education that every educational institution must take with utmost consideration. Research is the life-blood of an institution. Without it, the goals and objectives of the academe for its clientele will not be realized. Thus, it is vital that all members of the UCV family should work hand in hand to attain quality research in order to produce highly competitive graduates.This Institution’s Research, Planning and Development Center is established to set in motion and stimulate the growth of the frontiers of knowledge across disciplines, and help raise the levels of research efforts to sustain development programs in this Institution.
Research, Planning and Development is an academic function that distinguishes higher education from basic education.The academe has traditionally been one of the major sources of knowledge and innovations as a result of the research activities undertaken by the faculty, personnel and students. It is believed that the academic reputation of the faculty as well as his/her standing among colleagues is associated to a large extent, with the quality of his/her research and contribution to the world’s fund of knowledge.The center envisions to assume the lead role in the production and dissemination of development-oriented, innovative and creative researches which are locally responsive and globally comparable.
The Center is committed to provide an environment for the ultimate expression of an individual’s innovative and creative powers. It ensures that the academic environment nurtures a research culture that inspires and supports the talents of the faculty, personnel as well as the students.The University of Cagayan Valley Research, Planning and Development Center shall enhance the individual’s capacity to identify, create and distribute knowledge for reuse and to conduct independent, relevant and responsive studies.
At present, hand in hand with the Institution’s academic expansion, its physical facilities and structures are also being improved and expanded. To accommodate the growing number of enrollees, the Institution maintains two campuses; the College Avenue Campus (UCV Annex) where the Dr. Matias P. Perez Building is located, and the Balzain Campus which is now the Main Campus with an area of some eight hectares where the other buildings of the institution are located.
The Dr. Matias P. Perez Building, complete with science laboratories and a simulated hospital, quarters the College of Health while the various buildings at the Main Campus (Balzain) house the College of Law, College of Marine Engineering, College of Marine Transportation, College of Computer,Engineering and Information Technology, College of Technology, College of Engineering,College of Hotel and Restaurant Management, School of Arts and Sciences and Teacher Education, School of Criminology and the School of Business Administration. It is also in the Balzain Campus where the Computer Laboratories, Swimming Pool, Hotel, Mock Ship, Crime Laboratory, Chemistry Laboratory, Dark Room for Photography, Interrogation Room and the Gymnasium are housed.
