The Aklan State University (ASU) is composed of five campuses strategically located in the different parts of Aklan. Each campus contributes to the attainment of the vision, mission, goals and objectives of the university. Dedicated to provide quality education to its students, the University ensures that its curricular offerings suit well to the existing needs of the students as well as the global market.

The College of Industrial Technology (CIT) is located in Kalibo, the provincial capital, while the College of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (CFMS) is in New Washington. The other units, the College of Hospitality and Rural Resource Management (CHARRM) and the Teacher Education Center (TEC) are situated in Ibajay and Makato, respectively.

The University is recognized not only as a portal of learning, but also as an active leader in research and extension. Its faculty researchers have made significant contributions in various fields, particularly in agriculture. Similarly, its extension projects have greatly benefited its adopted communities in Aklan and neighboring provinces.

True to its four functions; instruction, research, extension and production - the University never ceases to work towards achieving it vision of becoming an Academic Pillar of Excellence (APEx) for sustainable development.
