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).
