History
The Journey of the Fisheries Products Technology Department: From a Pilot Program to an Independent Department at the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FKTP), UNG.
The history of the development of the Fisheries Products Technology (THP) Study Program at the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Gorontalo State University—hereinafter referred to as the THP Study Program, FPIK UNG—began with the establishment of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, UNG, in September 2014, based on UNG Rector’s Decree No. 869/UN47/OT/ 2014. Prior to August 2014, the THP Program was still one of the programs under the Department of Fisheries Technology in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at UNG. This change in status has brought about certain consequences and provided new motivation to become more competitive and improve quality. In light of this, since 2014, the Fisheries Products Technology Study Program has been refining its vision and mission to make them more specific and better aligned with the academic field of fisheries products technology, while also aligning them with the vision and mission of the university and the faculty.
