The College of Veterinary Medicine in the Visayas State University was created on May 24, 1974 first as a division of the Department of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine (DASVM). On January 20, 2001, the Veterinary Medicine Division was separated from DASVM and was converted into School of Veterinary Medicine per Board Resolution No. 14, series 2001. With the conversion of Visayas State College of Agriculture (ViSCA) into Leyte State University per RA 9158, the School of Veterinary Medicine became the College of Veterinary Medicine. The offering of the degree program in Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) started on April 27, 1993 per Board Resolution No. 13, series 1993, with a ladderized DVM curriculum. The ladderized curriculum was later revised to straight six years on January 20, 2001 per Board Resolution No. 15, series 2001.

History

Before becoming an Institute for Strategic Research and Development Studies on January 1, 2002, it was popularly known as the Center for Social Research in Small Farmer Development (CSR). CSR was established on September 5, 1981 by virtue of Board of Trustees Resolution No. 50.

The CSR grew out of the experiences of the Community Extension Service (CES) which started in 1975 as a Social Laboratory to carry out the extension activities and other community-based projects of the Visayas State College of Agriculture now Visayas State University. In 1980, the CES was renamed as Extension Research and Development Division or ERDD when the College extension program expanded. One year later, ERDD became the Center for Social Research in Small Farmer Development which is now named The Institute for Strategic Research and Development Studies.
