HISTORY

The Rizal Technological University (RTU) was established on July 11, 1969 upon the approval by then Secretary of Education in response to the outmost request of the provincial Board of Rizal, headed by governor Isidro S. Rodriguez, to put up a higher education institution in the province of Rizal. It was first known as the College of Rizal.

The College of Rizal opened its classes on July 14, 1969 with course offerings in business administration, education and liberal arts.

On March 20, 1975, the College of Rizal in Pasig and Rizal Technical High School in Mandaluyong, both situated in the province of Rizal, were merged and converted into the Rizal Technological Colleges by virtue of Presidential Decree (PD) No. 674. The Decree authorized the expansion of curricular programs and promotion of researches in the development and conservation of natural resources in the Province of Rizal.

The promulgation of P.D. No. 751 on July 25, 1975 amended certain provisions of P.D. No. 674 and made the operation and maintenance of the Rizal Technological Colleges a joint project and undertaking of the Provincial Government of Rizal and the MERALCO Foundation, Incorporated. This Decree broadened the support and strengthened the organization of the College.


The issuance of Presidential Decree No.824 integrating some of the big towns of Rizal within the Metropolitan Manila Area (MMA) jurisdiction caused the Provincial Government of Rizal some difficulties to finace the operation and maintenance of the Rizal Technological Colleges . thus, the Metropolitan Manila Commission assumed the financial support of the college until December 31, 1978. the Technology Resource Center (TRC) also exerted great efforts to help maintain full operations of the College.

On April 1, 1978, the RTC was nationalized and became a chartered State College by virtue of P.D. 1314-A. the decree mandated the College to be the Center for Cooperative Education which shall offer baccalaureate degrees in agriculture, fisheries, arts and sciences, trades and technology and other degrees as well as short-term courses of technological nature and a secondary curriculum to satisfy the manpower needs of the nation and assist in the realization to the national development goals.


After 19 years, the College was converted into Rizal Technological University on October 11, 1997 by virtue of Republic Act No.8365. The University is tasked with the responsibilities: provide highly professional, scientific, technological and special instruction in the fields of engineering and technology, education, business and entrepreneurial technology, and the arts and sciences; operate a laboratory high school for teacher education programs; and promote research, extension and advance studies in its areas of specialization. Through its Cooperative Education Program, it shall continue to lead in the provision of work-integrated learning through partnership with industry and involvement of students in civic activities.
Today, RTU has six campuses. The main campus is located at Boni Avenue, Brgy. Malamig, Mandaluyong City. Other campuses are situated in Brgy. San Miguel, Pasig City; Barangay San Roque, Antipolo City; Brgy. San Salvador, Baras Rizal; Kawit, Cavite; and Paluan, Occidental Mindoro.


RTU is the first state university in Mandaluyong City and Pasig City, Metro Manila and in the province of Rizal and Occidental Mindoro.


Today, RTU has the distinction of being the first educational institution in the Philippines to utilize Cooperative Education as a curriculum plan which is recognized by various industries, businesses and agencies all over the country. Aside from being the pioneer of several innovative academic programs in the Philippines, such as Doctor of Technology Education, Master of Technology Education, Master of Science in Engineering Education, and Instrumentation and Control Technology, the University has established itself as the National Instrumentation and Control Center and Welding and Reseach Training Center. It has also been the pilot school of the Technology Resource Center under the Ministry of Human Settlement and now a member of the school network implementing the Engineering and Science Education Program (ESEP) of the Philippines.


The functions and services of RTU are not confined to instruction alone as it has shifted to full gear towards the enhancement of its research and development programs and continued to pursue the policy of sharing its expertise and resources with the community through its non-formal education programs and extension services.


At present, RTU rises as a state university that will unceasingly fulfill its mission, vision, goals and objective toward nation building...
