Bukalasa Agricultural College was founded in 1920 as a Cotton Breeding Centre and since then, partly via mergers with other institutes, developed into the current institute that provides agricultural education in a broad range of fields. Since 1991 BAC is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Sports. The college receives substantial funding from the Danish government for rehabilitation of the facilities en reviewing the curricula.
