SCHOOL PROFILE 

Camarines Norte State College (CNSC) traces its origins to Camarines Norte High School, established in 1920 in the town of Daet. It later became Camarines Norte National High School and was officially converted into a state college through Republic Act No. 7352 in 1992, signed by President Corazon Aquino. This legislation unified several educational institutions across the province, including Abaño Pilot Elementary School, which became the Abaño Campus. As one of the oldest and most historic parts of CNSC, Abaño Campus continues to play a vital role in the college’s academic development and now serves as the designated site for education programs, including teacher training and foundational instruction.

​

Today, CNSC operates multiple campuses across Camarines Norte, each offering specialized academic programs tailored to the needs of local communities:

• Main Campus (Daet): Serves as the central hub for administration and houses the College of Engineering, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Public Administration, College of Computing and Multimedia Studies, and the Graduate School.

• Abaño Campus (Daet): Focuses exclusively on education programs, particularly teacher training and pedagogy.

• College of Trades and Technology (Jose Panganiban): Offers industrial and technical courses.

• Ret. Judge Antonio C. Entienza Campus (Sta. Elena): Provides education programs to students in the northern part of the province.

• College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (Labo): Specializes in agriculture, forestry, and environmental science.

• College of Fisheries, Aquatic Sciences, and Technology (Mercedes): Focuses on marine and aquatic resource management, offering programs that support sustainable fisheries, coastal development, and environmental stewardship. This campus plays a crucial role in advancing research and training in aquatic sciences, particularly relevant to the province’s rich coastal and marine ecosystems.

​

Together, these campuses reflect CNSC’s commitment to accessible, high-quality education and its mission to foster regional development through instruction, research, and community engagement. By integrating diverse academic disciplines across strategically located campuses, CNSC empowers students to contribute meaningfully to their communities and to the broader goals of national progress.
