[1][2] Pangasinan State University Urdaneta originated as a geographic satellite of PSU Asingan.

The project to create a satellite campus in Urdaneta was inspired from the ideas of Rodolfo V. Asanion, who was then Dean of the Asingan Campus and later became the University President.

It became a separate College of Engineering on August 1, 1989.

The Technoscope Publications is the official student publication, funded and published by its students.

Although incorporated in same location, PSU Graduate School is autonomous and is administered by different professionals with the PSU Urdaneta (Undergraduate).
