  • Overview

The University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) is an autonomous constituent university of the University of the Philippines System situated at the foot of Mount Makiling in Los Baños, Laguna. It was founded by renowned American botanist and agriculturist Edwin Copeland on March 6, 1909 as the College of Agriculture, one of the first two units of the University of the Philippines.[1]

UPLB has one of the largest campuses in the Philippines, and the largest constituent university of the University of the Philippines System in terms of land mass, with a total land area of 36 km², or roughly the size of the city of Manila. Several buildings at UPLB were designed by National Artist for Architecture Leandro Locsin.[1]

The University has the highest concentration of PhDs among all educational institutions in the Philippines due to the numerous local and foreign research centers located here (Note: UP Diliman's College of Science, on the other hand, has the highest concentration of PhDs among all colleges in the country).[1]

UPLB has made significant contributions to science and technology research in the Philippines and abroad, and it continues to do so despite limited funding support from the government. As testament to this, at least 30 of the 87 members of the prestigious National Academy of Science and Technology have studied and/or taught at UPLB. The University has likewise produced 11 of 29 national scientists.[1]
