History

[edit]

The college started as a satellite campus of Iloilo State College of Fisheries until it was separated into an independent college and renamed Northern Negros State College of Science and Technology. It was created on January 9, 1998, by Republic Act 8448 by then-Congressman Alfredo G. Marañon Jr.[1] In March 2023, the college started offering online agritourism and ecotourism courses.[2] In January 22, 2024, the Commission on Higher Education converted the state college into a state university.[3]
