Mindanao State University – General Santos (MSU Gensan; Filipino: Pamantasang Mindanao ng Lungsod ng Heneral Santos) is a state university located in General Santos City, Philippines. It was created in September 1967, six years after the establishment of the Mindanao State University in Marawi in 1961. It became a constituent campus of the Mindanao State University System on October 10, 1973. It is one of the state universities of the Philippines with the aim of providing education for the different strategic locations across the island of Mindanao.
As a member of the Mindanao State University System, it has a special mandate of integrating the cultural communities in Mindanao into the mainstream of the nation's socio-cultural and political life by providing them with opportunities for quality and relevant public education for their self-development and providing trained manpower skills and technical know-how for the economic development of the region.
Its 156-hectare main campus is located in Barangay Fatima, where most of its academic colleges, institutional facilities and administrative offices are located. The main campus is also the site of a seismic station of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. In addition, MSU-Gensan maintains a campus in the city center, where the university's College of Medicine, School of Graduate Studies, College of Law (extension of the main campus), and laboratory high school is located.
