 The university started as the Pamantasang Bayan ng Cabiao on June 15, 1996 through a Memorandum of Agreement between the Local Government Unit of Cabiao and the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.The school, which was then under the PUP Open University, initially offered courses in Computer Technology and Computer Secretarial catering to unemployed adults, out-of-school youth, and high school graduates who could not pursue college education because of financial constraints.In 2009, the school decided to stop offering vocational programs in exchange for a four-year degree, Bachelor in Elementary Education.
