History :

Bangbandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University was established in 1998 as a public university with an act (Act no. 16) promulgated by the Parliament, Government of Bangladesh.
The university was, in fact, established by transforming the Institute of Post Graduate Studies in Agriculture (IPSA). IPSA was originally established as Bangladesh College of Agricultural Science (BCAS) in 1983 as an academic organ of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) and academically affiliated with Bangladesh Agricultural University until 1991. In 1991, IPSA was made an autonomous institution. Henceforth, IPSA started its true course credit-based M.S. and Ph.D. programs. The graduate program of IPSA was developed a team of IPSA teachers led by Prof. L. M. Eisgruver of the Oregon State University (OSU), USA under the tripartite cooperation of JAICA-USAID-GOB.
