The De La Salle Araneta University (DLSAU), the pioneer Catholic private institution in Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences, is the seventh member institution of De La Salle Philippines (DLSP). It was established in 1946 as the Araneta Institute of Agriculture in Bulacan, then transferred to Malabon the year after. In 1978 it was renamed as the Gregorio Araneta University Foundation (GAUF). Integration of the university to the De La Salle University System started since 1987 and in 2002 became an official De La Salle District School, thereby becoming a member of the Lasallian network of schools worldwide run by the De La Salle Brothers of the Christian Schools.
