The College of Law was approved per BOR Resolution no. 899, S.2002 during the 112th Regular Board of Trustees Meeting held at Bukidnon State College. From the time it opened its doors, the college has offered the regular program for Bachelor of Laws.
Since its inception, the school has had three deans who contributed to its robust curriculum. The pioneering dean was the esteemed judge, Hon.Vivencio P. Estrada. He graduated from University of San Carlos in 1960 and attained distinction as a lawyer, particularly in criminal cases. He was later appointed as judge in the 10th Judicial Region Branch 8 for the designation of special court for kidnapping, robbery carnapping, dangerous drugs and other heinous crimes. He served as the Dean of BukSU College of Law for almost 14 years.
