Saint Ferdinand College is a private, Catholic coeducational basic and higher education institution in Ilagan City, Isabela, Philippines. It was established in 1950 by the Knights of Columbus Ilagan Council 3705.[3] Its formal operation began in school year 1951–1952, with classes offering from Kindergarten to College Level.

St. Ferdinand College is the only Catholic educational institution in Ilagan City, Isabela, Philippines, and is one of the leading educational institutions in Isabela duly recognized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)[4] and the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA).[5] Being recognized for its good facilities and competent staff, SFC served as the venue for the 1999 National School Press Conference on February 8–12.

For several years now, SFC remains the source of students for scholarship admission to the Ateneo de Manila University and University of the Philippines in Region II. In-School Board Review for Criminology is now offered and it is presently linked with the University of Baguio. A Review Program for the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) has also started in Summer of 1999. This is a continuing service afforded by the school to help students prepare for the Licensure Examinations at an affordable cost.

At present, St. Ferdinand College has one satellite campus in Cabagan[6] in the same province.
