MSEUF has the second highest number of accredited academic college degrees/programs offered in the whole Southern Tagalog Region, behind University of the Philippines Los Banos.

The university also has satellite campuses in Candelaria, Catanauan, Sampaloc, San Antonio, and Calauag — all of which are located within the Philippines.

Parents from many parts of Quezon Province had to mortgage their lands or sell their last carabao to send their children to college in Manila.

The situation presented both a challenge and an opportunity to a group of pioneering and vision-driven individuals led by Dr. Manuel S. Enverga who founded the Luzonian Colleges on January 14, 1947, to give needy students access to higher education.

The Institute of Graduate Studies and Research and the College of Engineering opened in 1955, giving Luzonian students more varied career choices.

[1] Founder-president Dr. Manuel S. Enverga died on June 14, 1981, secure in the knowledge that the university he founded would continue to serve the citizens of Quezon and the rest of Luzon.

Two years later, the program was merged with the Institute of Hotel and Restaurant Management organized in 1995 due to the parallelism and similarity of courses, faculty and laboratory requirements.
