Mindanao State University (MSU; Filipino: Pamantasang Pampamahalaan ng Mindanao[5]) is a state university system in the city of Marawi, Philippines. It is the first state university in Mindanao, Philippines, established through Republic Act 1387 (as amended). It is the second state-sponsored institution in the country, following the University of the Philippines.[6][7][8]

The MSU was formally established on September 1, 1961 in Marawi City, the capital of Lanao del Sur, which was claimed to be the heart of Morolandia due to the city being the site of the reference point of all roads in Mindanao.[9][10] The university was formally established with the first meeting of its Board of Regents in Marawi City on August 19, 1961, that resulted into the election of the first president of the University in the person of Dr. Antonio S. Isidro, the then vice President for Academic Affairs of the University of the Philippines.[11][12]
