Nueva Vizcaya State University  

Nueva Vizcaya State University (NSVU) is a public higher education institution in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. Established in 1916, the school initially started out as a farm settlement school, offering intermediate and—later on in 1930—secondary curriculum up until its closure during the Japanese occupation. The school reopened in 1945 as the Nueva Vizcaya Rural High School (NVRHS) and was then later renamed to the Nueva Vizcaya State Institute of Technology (NVSIT) in 1973. In 2001, through the Republic Act No. 9272 (An Act Constituting the Merging of the Two Campuses into NVSU) by Hon. Carlos Padilla, NVSIT merged with the Nueva Vizcaya State Polytechnic College (NVSPC) in Bambang to create the Nueva Vizcaya State University Bayombong and Bambang campuses.

The main campus in Bayombong offers undergraduate and graduate courses from eight college units: Agriculture, Arts & Sciences, Business Education, Engineering, Forestry, Human Ecology, Teacher Education and Veterinary Medicine. The Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) also recognizes several programs of the university, like MED in Language, Reading, and Numeracy, BS Business Administration, BS Geodetic Engineering, and BS Information Technology. Additionally, the College of Forestry is a Center of Excellence as acknowledged by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
