College of Arts and Sciences CLSU

The College of Arts and Sciences was created by virtue of Section 7 of Republic act No. 4067 entitled “An Act Converting the Central Luzon Agricultural College (CLAC) into Central Luzon State University (CLSU)”, signed by the President Diosdado Macapagal on June 18, 1964. This provision empowered the Board of Regents to approve the establishment of, among others, The College of Arts and Sciences and its four departments: Behavioural Sciences, Biological Sciences, Humanities and Languages, and Physical Sciences.

Since then, the college has expanded and now has eight departments: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, English and Humanities, Filipino, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics, and Social Sciences and Psychology. It started offering B.S. Biology in 1981 and B.S. Chemistry in 1982. In 1984 and 1986, respectively, the college produced its first batch of graduates in Biology and Chemistry.

The instructional program of the college was further strengthened by subsequently offering three more curricula. These are AB Social Sciences in 1993, AB Development Communication in 1999, and BS Statistics in 2000. Recently the Department of Psychology started offering BA Psychology.

Besides its degree programs, the College of Arts and Sciences has served as the service college of the Central Luzon State University.
