College of Home Science and Industry

The College of Home Science and Industry has its humble beginnings as a Department of Home Economics in 1954, a year after Congress passed Republic Act No. 1174 converting the then Central Luzon Agricultural College School to Cental Luzon Agricultural College. By virtue of resolution 405 that was approved by the Board of Trustees on January 18, 1955, a four year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Home Economics was offered.

The BSHE curriculum was revised and approved on April 26, 1979 with major options in Home Economics and Extension Education, Food Processing and Bachelor of Science in Garment Technology. These revisions were implemented during the first semester, school year 1979-1980.

Board resolution No. 1868, s. 1979 renamed the College of Home Economics to College of Home Science and Industry, with the aim of making the name more relevant with the philosophy and goals of the University and to the goals and objectives of the College.

In cognizance of the demands of scientific and technological changes and the country’s need for more effective manpower resources, courses in Food Technology and Textile and Garment Technology were instituted. These courses effected the present departments are: the Department of Food Science and Technology, the Department of Textile and Garment Technology and the Department of Home Economics Education and Extension, each offering a degree program.

Aside from the degree program offered by the Department of Home Economics Education and Extension, it also runs a kindergarten in the campus, primarily catering to children of faculty and staff. Its operation started in 1982.

In response to the nation’s and the university’s thrust toward agro-industrial development as well as to Executive Orders and Letter of Instructions some revisions in the curricular programs were undertaken which included inception of certain courses for institutionalization.

 

College of Veterinary Science and Medicine

The determination of Dr. Amado C. Campos, then President of the Central Luzon State University to have a unique veterinary curricular program commissioned Dr. Teodulo M. Topacio, Jr. to create such a program. Hence the first Ladderized Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Curricular Program was conceptualized and created. Thru this program CLSU’s DVM program has become a model and has been replicated in many Veterinary Colleges.

The College of Veterinary Science and Medicine of Central Luzon State University was established through the Republic Act no. 4067 enacted to law by Congress in 1964 and which was effected through a Board of Regents Resolution no. 17-78 s. 1978. As a guide in its quest for service and excellence, a vision and mission have been formulated. Its vision is to become a model veterinary institution in Asia dedicated to country-side development and its mission is to provide excellent veterinary education that will produce graduates equipped with technical, entrepreneurial, managerial and leadership skills necessary for optimum animal production in the countryside.

Being a top notched veterinary institution we have to strive more in putting into realization this quest we have to embrace the four-fold function as espouse by the University and where CVSM have made the following progress;

For instruction, CVSM put up various innovative teaching strategies. The college was the first in the entire University in putting up its electronic library and audio-visual section. We have also put up the first fully functional lecture rooms equipped with modern teaching facilities. We have put up two unique curricular programs not found in any other veterinary institution in the country and these are the Ladderized Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Curricular Program and the Master of Veterinary Studies.

For research, CVSM is a participant in the international sponsored research project on endoparasites control on small ruminants. The college is also at the forefront in ethno-veterinary research and epidemiological studies. Various collaborative researches has also been undertaken with the Philippine Carabao Center, Bureau of Animal Industry and Veterinary Companies.

For Extension, CVSM has adopted 4 barangays and provided them with livelihood projects thru its cattle dispersal project which is now on its 12th year. Vaccination campaign against rabies an FMD have undertaken in cooperation with various municipalities from within and outside Nueva Ecjia.

For production, CVSM believes in the development of the entrepreneurial talent of its students, hence various income generating projects has been put up which augments the funding source of the college.

The faculty members are highly qualified with majority having post-graduate degree in their field of specialization. There is a low faculty-student ratio and small classes providing a better interaction between students and faculty. The graduates of our program have become successful in various fields of veterinary medical specialties both here and abroad. Many have become Provincial and City Veterinarians as well as Veterinarian in various government agencies. It is also interesting to note that many companies prefer CLSU graduates over all other. This only shows the high quality education the College is providing. The result of the Government Veterinary Licensure Examination is another testimony of the excellence in its program.

It is also hope that as the years goes by the College will play a lead role in providing quality Veterinarians that will lead the country thru providing food security, safeguard of public health and economic development.

College of Education

Since 1950, the College of Education has been unfailingly fulfilling its function of training future teachers and technicians highly qualified to mold the Filipino mind.

The College of Education initially started with two four-year courses: Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education (BSAEd) and Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Extension Education (BSAExEd). In 1983, it opened two new four-year courses, Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) and Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) in answer to the demands for more teachers in the elementary and secondary levels.

In School year 1996-1997, the College of Education was selected as Center of Development of Teacher Education (COD) in Region III. In SY 1999-2000, the College as a COD offered a double degree program, AB/BSEd, known as the CITE program. It is a 4-year and 2-summer program course. It carries at least 51 units in the major courses.

On October 14, 1997, the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities (AACCUP), Inc. awarded level I (Candidate Status); on January 16, 1999, Level II (Accredited Status) and on January 16, 2002, Level II (Reaccredited Status) to the Teacher Education Program of the Central Luzon State University.

 

College of Fisheries

The College of Fisheries (CF) is located in the northeastern portion of the Central Luzon State University (CLSU) in Munoz, Nueva Ecija. The college is about 1.5 km away from the main campus and 150 km north of Manila. The college was established in 1976 to fill the need for trained human resources vital to the development of the country’s inland fisheries sector. It offered a work-oriented curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Inland Fisheries which was considered the only one of its kind in the country then.

The College constitutes one of two fisheries units in the University, the other being the Freshwater Aquaculture Center(FAC). Working hand in hand, these two units implement the university’s programs and activities in fisheries and aquaculture such as instruction, research training, extension and production. At present, the two units are sharing technical staff and facilities. The faculty devote their time to academic duties in the College and the Department of Aquaculture, Institute of Graduate Studies and research at the Center.

With about three decades of existence, the College was able to set two unprecedented records in the history of CLSU for being the first college to have two Ten Outstanding Young Man (TOYM) awardees as faculty members and the first college to produce the first Summa Cum Laude graduate of the University. In 2006, it ranked number one among the topnotchers in the Fisheries Technologist Board exam in the country.

The College is one of the top performing Fisheries institutions in the country based from the performance of its graduates in the Fisheries Technologist Board Exam administered by the Professional Regulation Commission f the Philippines.

In June 1987, the college offered a new curriculum, the Bachelor of Science in Fisheries with major field in inland fisheries and minor field in marine fisheries. The college is the only one in Central Luzon (Region III) that offers a BS Fisheries curriculum. On May 19, 2006, a revised BSF curriculum was approved under BOR Resolution 29-2006. The revised BSF curriculum addresses the minimum standards and requirements set by the CHED-Technical Panel in Agricultural Education in Fisheries (TPAE) [CMO 43, S., 2006], the areas of concern of Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) Fisheries Technologist Board Examination, and most importantly the needs of the fisheries and aquaculture industry in the country.

The college is in partnership with the Freshwater Aquaculture Center (FAC). Working hand in hand, these two units implement the university’s programs and activities in fisheries and aquaculture instruction, research, extension and production. The synergy of CF and FAC has primarily contributed to the catapult of tilapia industry in the country. In addition, CF-FAC linkage aims to contribute significantly to livelihood enhancement and attainment of improved production and management of the country’s inland fisheries resources. The CF-FAC conducts basic and applied research, both on-station and on-farm leading to scientific breakthroughs and generation of scientific data and information which are geared towards the development of technologies appropriate for increasing fish production, employment generation and livelihood enhancement. The scope of researches includes fish genetics and biodiversity, fish molecular markers such as microsatellite DNA, otolith microchemistry, culture systems, fish nutrition and feed development, fish immunology and health, water quality and ecosystem management, and socio-economics. Recently, research proposals on fisheries biotechnology such as molecular marker particularly single nucleotide polymorphism in tilapia and Pacific white shrimp, IGF-I as parameter for growth in tilapia, and serotyping of tilapia bacterial pathogens for vaccine development have been approved by the DOST. The newly established Biotechnology and Molecular Biology Laboratory of CF-FAC is equipped to carry out researches on molecular disciplines.

In 2001, the college was recognized as Center of Excellence in Fisheries by the Commission on Higher Education. This recognition is attributed to the sterling performance of the college as one of the top two fisheries institutions in the country. In fact, due to research works of CF-FAC on sustainable aquaculture program CLSU has been awarded as the Best Higher Education Institution in the country in 2008 by CHED.

College of Engineering

College of Engineering

The College of Engineering (CEn) started as a department, the Department of Agricultural Engineering offering a secondary Farm Mechanics Course in the then Central Luzon Agricultural School (CLAS).

In June 1955, five years after the school was elevated into the Central Luzon Agricultural College (CLAC), the Department was expanded to include the offering of a 4-year curriculum in Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering (BSAEn). Later in 1959, this curricular program was revised into a 5-year BSAEn program.

When CLAC was converted into what is now the Central Luzon State University (CLSU) through R.A 6067 of 1964, the Department of Agricultural Engineering became the College of Engineering.

Over the long years, the CEn has carved a name for itself. Its graduates have excelled in board examinations for engineering and have occupied key management positions on which they have earned national and international recognition for their outstanding works. All these have contributed to the high reputation of the college.
