This is a state university located in Northern Mindanao that caters the academic needs of mostly Mindanao residents. You need not go to private and expensive schools, nor go to Manila or Cebu to enroll. MSU-IIT is a center of excellence for science, mathematics and education/teaching courses, not to forget the excellent programs for engineering, physics, IT and various language courses, with excellent educational facilities, tools and equipment. This university is a hidden secret/treasure of Iligan City, Lanao Del Norte, which is a vibrant, first class, culturally diverse city. For parents/students who want to avail of affordable but excellent academic/educational/programs, this is institution to go to!

The intellect and efforts of the students, the extraordinary sharp-witted professors and the hard working staff, are the facets which made MSU IIT an excellent institution especially in science and technology in Iligan City. I am a product of MSU IIT, from SCS as BS IT and units in MS IT. I am proud to be one. I had so many memories to live for since I am an active student participating on school events like engaging on Palakasan's cheer dance competition and Palakasan's Interpretative Reading on the 1st year of college, Palakasan's Folk Dance Competition on the 2nd and 3rd years, and Pasundayag's Interpretative Acting on the 3rd year (held as Champion). These are main events and there were so many memories to mention. Also in here, I found the love of my life, my hubby. I have to conclude, the Institution gave a hallmark in my professional career and personal life.
