The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) defines an extension program as a set of activities aimed to transfer knowledge or technology or to provide services to the community in consonance with the programs offered. The extension program is conducted, not as a part of an academic requirement, but as an outreach program toward the improvement of a community’s quality of life. As such, the CHED has mandated State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) to have an Extension Office. To effectively serve the community, the PUP established an Extension Office and formulated its manual as approved by a BOR Resolution No. 741, series of 2010.

The study entitled "Socioeconomic Profiling of Communities Surrounding the Polytechnic University of the Philippines as Basis of Extension Programs" was conducted as part of a collaborative effort of the Department of Economics and the Master of Science in Economics Program as an initiative to help the University in crafting suitable extension programs based on the strengths and weaknesses (which were determined in the results of the study) of the communities involved.
Socioeconomic profiling can be a useful tool for identifying under-utilized services, determining problem areas, developing local community profiles, and preparing and enhancing governance documents. This effort of the Department of Economics and Master of Science in Economics Program was published in the Annals of Tropical Medicine & Public Health, a Scopus-indexed journal. The socioeconomic profiling leads to the development of the Adopt-A-Barangay Program, Kaunlarang Entreprenyuryal, and other Community Outreach and Extension Programs. These activities adhere to Extension Agenda 2 - Planning and Development Assistance.
