MU upholds extension as major function co-equal with research and instruction.
In today's increasing competitiveness, when the capacity to generate, harness and utilize knowledge
determines the nation's progress, research has become an essential mandate of Higher Education
Institutions. Research forms an integral part of the triad functions of a university in addition
to instruction and extension. Research is regarded as the driving force for economic, social and
cultural development since it advances the frontiers of knowledge.
It is on this premise, that the Misamis University Research Center (MURC) was created to serve
as the pillar to carry the research function of the University. It aims to develop the research
competencies of its manpower that could spur the needed changes towards formation of new knowledge
and rapid continuing progress in this part of Mindanao.
