菲律賓大學碧瑤分校 (菲律賓語:Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Baguio、UPB;英語:UP in the North[2]、UP Baguio),是成立於1921年菲律賓碧瑤市的公立研究型大學。
It was established in 1921 through the initiative of UP alumni in Baguio and Benguet and was inaugurated as the UP College of Baguio on April 22, 1961.[3] It was eventually elevated to its present autonomous status as a constituent university on December 2, 2002.[3]
It is the seventh constituent university of the University of the Philippines System[4] and is the university's flag-bearer in Northern Luzon.[2] It is also one of the research institutions in the region through its Cordillera Studies Center, with ethnic and interdisciplinary research[5] as well as for its efforts in conserving the biodiversity and indigenous cultures of the Cordillera Region.[6]
Being a former extension of the UP College of Liberal Arts, UP Baguio mainly specializes in the sciences, arts and humanities.[7] It currently offers 16 academic programs through its three degree-granting units.[8] As of 2019, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has accredited three academic programs in the university as Centers of Development, namely in the fields of biology, mathematics, and physics.[9]
The university was initially established in 1921 as an extension of the UP College of Liberal Arts, and was originally located in Vigan, Ilocos Sur.[2][4] In 1938, it was relocated to Baguio as the UP College of Arts and Sciences.[2][4]
During World War II, the buildings and facilities within the college were largely destroyed, and reestablishment efforts were immediately carried out by UP alumni after the war.[2][4] After several years since its post-war restoration, the college then became a branch campus of UP Diliman, becoming known as the UP College of Baguio on April 22, 1961.
On December 2, 2002, the university's distinction was affirmed by the elevation of the UP College of Baguio into a constituent university through a unanimous endorsement by the UP Board of Regents (BOR), in which it became officially known as UP Baguio.[2][4]

UP Baguio is governed by the university system's 11-member Board of Regents. Like all other UP campuses, UP Baguio is headed and supervised by a chancellor, who is assisted by two vice chancellors—one for academic affairs and the other for administration.[10] The first chancellor of UP Baguio was Dr. Priscilla Supnet Macasantos, who oversaw the campus' elevation into a constituent university of UP within her term.[4] The current chancellor selected by the Board of Regents is Dr. Corazon L. Abansi, who succeeded Dr. Raymundo Rovillos after his term ended on April 13, 2021.[11]
Admission to the university is highly selective. Students who wish to enter the university must first pass the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT), which serves as an admission requirement for all constituent units of the university system.[8]
UP Baguio constitutes three colleges as its academic arms,[2][4] and offers 9 undergraduate degree programs, 6 graduate degree programs, and a pre-baccalaureate certificate program.[8] The colleges are headed by their respective deans, the Institute of Management―which is part of the College of Social Sciences―by a director, and the Human Kinetics Program―which is part of the College of Science―by a coordinator.
The university has been identified by CHED as a Center of Development in biology, mathematics, and physics since 2001.[2][15]
