AUSN Cooperation Agreement with Catanduanes State University (CSU)


American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN) is honored to have signed a MOU with Catanduanes State University.  

The beginning of Catanduanes State University (CSU) dates back to June 18, 1961 when the enactment of Republic Act 3398 called for the establishments of Virac National and Agricultural Trade School (VNATS). Ten years thereafter, Republic Act (RA) 6341 authored by Congressman Jose M. Alberto, converted VNATS into Catanduanes State Colleges (CSC) on June 19, 1971.

CSC started functioning as a tertiary educational institution on December 1, 1971, initially offering courses such as Associate in Business Education, Associate in Commerce, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Master of Arts in Education, and Master of Arts in Commerce. Additional courses were offered on July 8, 1972 by virtue of R.A 6590. On July 22, 1996, the Tenth Congress of the Republic of the Philippines enacted and approved Republic Act No. 8292, which provides for the uniform composition and powers of the governing board, the manner of appointment and term of office of the President of chartered state universities and colleges, and for other purposes.

President Benigno S. Aquino III signed on October 19, 2012 Republic Act No. 10299 converting Catanduanes State Colleges (CSC) (Virac/Main and Panganiban Campus) into Catanduanes State University. On July 14, 2011, Dr. Minerva I. Morales was elected as the sixth President of the CSC. When CSC was converted into a University, she was designated by CHED as Officer In-Charge from December 12, 2012 to March 24, 2013 in consonance with the provision of R.A. 10229.  The first Joint AUSN-CSU Intensive Bioethics Forum was held on 6 July 2017, Catanduanes State University, Virac the Philippines.
