About

The Alafua Campus was originally the South Pacific Regional College of Tropical Agriculture, established with New Zealand Assistance in the early 1960s under the Colombo Plan. 

In 1977, the Government of Samoa leased the campus to The University of the South Pacific. Since 1977 Alafua Campus was the Agricultural Campus of the University, with the School of Agriculture (SOA) now School of Agriculture and Food Technology(SAFT) and the Institute for Research, Extension and Training in Agriculture (IRETA) being the only units operating out of Alafua Campus.
