The Nueva Vizcaya State University is the result of the Nueva Vizcaya State Institute of Technology (NVSIT) and the Nueva Vizcaya State Polytechnic College (NVSPC). The two schools were the two most prominent state-run colleges in the province of Nueva Vizcaya. The NVSIT has a total area of 148.5 hectares situated at the foot of the scenic Bangan Hill in Bayombong, the capital town of the province, and the NVSPC, on the other hand, has an area of 14.21 hectares in Bambang, the center of trade and commerce of the province.
The NVSIT started from a farm settlement school in 1916, offering only an intermediate curriculum. Two years later, a secondary curriculum was added to its former program, later renaming the school as the Bayombong Rural School, then as the Nueva Vizcaya Rural High School (NVRHS) 1930. However, school operations in the country were suddenly stopped because of the war with the Japanese forces in 1941. After the war, NVRHS resumed its operation in 1945. However, it was split into two entities: the NVRHS (now the NVSU) and the other as the Nueva Vizcaya High School (now the Nueva Vizcaya General Comprehensive High School).
During the post-war years, businesses started to boom in Bambang, which paved the way for an educational institution to cater to the municipality's growing population. As a result, the Municipality Council of Bambang passed a resolution on July 11, 1946, to establish a Junior High School in the southern part of the province. With the intensified campaigns of raising funds for the proposed school, the amount of P19,720.00 was accumulated and initiated the realization for a JHS. In the same month, the Southern Nueva Vizcaya Junior High School (VHS) formally started its operation and a year after it was renamed as the Bambang High School (BHS).
Both NVRHS and BHS had undergone remarkable transformations geared toward betterment, responsive to a dynamic civilization. Development in terms of physical facilities, workforce, and system of education was given top considerations. With the strong support of political leaders of the province led by then-Congressman Leonardo Perez, the upgrading of its respective district's different sectors, especially the educational component, was realized. The NVRHS was converted into Nueva Vizcaya National Agricultural School (NVNAS) in 1956, made possible under Republic Act 1580 sponsored by Cong. Perez. In 1964, another conversion occurred when the NVNAS was changed into Nueva Vizcaya Agricultural College (NVAC) through the legislation of R.A. 4055, also authored by Cong. Perez. He likewise sponsored R.A. 1971, converting the BHS into the Nueva Vizcaya School of Arts and Trades (NVSAT) on June 22, 1957.
