The Learning Resource Center (LRC) at UPLB was established in June 1978 in conjunction with the implementation of the Agricultural and Rural Development Scholarship (ARDS) Program.
In 2014, the UP Board of Regents elevated and extended the Center's mandate to further promote academic excellence not just to local undergraduate students, but also international undergraduate and graduate students.
Currently, the Center is implementing the following programs:
1. Agricultural and Rural Development Scholarship (ARDS)
2. Bridge Program (BP)
3. Recruitment of the Best and the Brightest (RPBB)
4. Tutorials
5. Customized Trainings (e.x. Cultural and Language Training Program)
6. Providing Learning Alternatives to the Youth (PLAY)
