The university's roots can be traced back to the early 1900s, when the Batangas Provincial High School was established as a cornerstone of higher education in the province. This institution laid the groundwork for future educational endeavors, emphasizing the importance of accessible and quality education in the community.

However, with the unwavering support of the local community and government, the university persevered, gradually expanding its offerings and enhancing its facilities. This commitment to growth allowed the institution to adapt to the evolving educational landscape and respond to the societal needs of its time.

As the decades passed, a significant milestone in the university’s history was the establishment of satellite campuses throughout Batangas. These campuses were instrumental in extending educational access to a wider population, ensuring that students from diverse backgrounds could benefit from quality education. The university also recognized the value of collaboration and formed partnerships with other educational institutions, both locally and internationally. These alliances enhanced its academic programs and research capabilities, further enriching the educational experience for students.

Today, the university stands as a prominent institution in the Philippines, offering a comprehensive range of undergraduate and graduate programs across various fields.
