The University of Rizal System (URS) is a product of two merged state colleges and a university extension. It was formed with the approval of Republic Act 9157 on August 11, 2001. The two state colleges were Rizal Polytechnic College, which was established in 1944, and Rizal State College founded in 1956.
URS is an academic institution providing applicable as well as sustainable technical instruction and research for its students. Having a total of 10 campuses, its main campus is located in Tanay, Rizal, while the satellite campuses can be found in Morong, Pililla, Rodriguez, Angono, Binangonan, Cainta, Antipolo, Cardona, and Taytay. Each campus offers a variety of courses for different colleges such as Agriculture, Agribusiness Management, Science and Education, Arts and Letters, Education, Hospitality and Industry, Business Administration, Accountancy, Computer Studies, Fisheries, Industrial Technology, Engineering, and Social Sciences.
Students are given the opportunity to experience relative courses in international settings through their International Student Exchange Programs. Over the years, some Agriculture students of URS conduct their on-the-job training in Israel while others travel to Malaysia to test and apply their knowledge in different technological fields. At the same time, students who are financially deprived are given the chance to apply for scholarships as long as their grades meet the qualifications of the institution. Such scholarships may either be provided by URS, parent organizations or it may also be government-funded. The University takes pride in their achievements such as the recent accreditation of 13 programs by Accrediting Agencies of Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) along with 10 other programs by Regional Quality Assurance (RQAT) Team of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
