Isabela State University - Ilagan City Campus was one of the three original campuses merged to become the first state university in Cagayan Valley Region, the others were Cabagan Campus and Echague Campus. Through the Presidential Decree 1434 signed by former President Ferdinand Marcos on June 10,1978, the Isabela State University was created. The Isabela College of Agriculture in Echague and the Cagayan Valley Institute of Technology in Cabagan were merged to form the state university. The college level courses of the Isabela School of Arts and Trades at Ilagan along with Jones Rural School at Jones, Roxas Memorial Agricultural and Industrial School at Roxas and San Mateo Vocational and Industrial School at San Mateo, were hereby transferred to the new university. Today, there are eleven campuses of the university system strategically located in the different municipalities of Isabela.

Ilagan City Campus is located some 400 kilometers north of Manila, in Barangay Calamagui 2nd, Ilagan City, Isabela. Its rolling area of 2.11 hectares is located along Maharlika Highway which make it accessible to land transport.

The campus caters mostly to sons and daughters of Isabelinos who are economically poor and marginalized. It provides various scholarship grants to deserving students. Other scholarship grants are also provided by various civic spirited and benevolent sponsors in the province.

Most of the programs offered in the campus have already undergone preliminary survey and accredited Level II by the AACCUP. The campus has been working towards providing education to its clientele through the four thrusts of the University, namely: instruction, research, extension and production. It is commissioned to produce globally competitive graduates ready to meet the challenges of the times.
