The University of the Philippines Baguio (UPB; Filipino: Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Baguio), also referred to as UP in the North[2] or UP Baguio, is a public research university located in Baguio, Philippines. It was established in 1921 through the initiative of UP alumni in Baguio and Benguet and was inaugurated as the University of the Philippines College Baguio on April 22, 1961.[3] It was eventually elevated to its present autonomous status as a constituent university on December 2, 2002.[3]
It is the seventh constituent university of the University of the Philippines System[4] and is the university's flag-bearer in Northern Luzon.[2] It is also one of the research institutions in the region through its Cordillera Studies Center, with ethnic and interdisciplinary research[5] as well as for its efforts in conserving the biodiversity and indigenous cultures of the Cordillera Region.[6]
Being a former extension of the UP College of Liberal Arts, UP Baguio mainly specializes in the sciences, arts and humanities.[7] It currently offers 16 academic programs through its three degree-granting units.[8] As of 2019, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has accredited three academic programs in the university as Centers of Development, namely in the fields of biology, mathematics, and physics.[9]
