Beginnings
On October 30, 1945, a Municipal Resolution No. 35 was passed through the late Acting Mayor Pablo Caneja, requesting to establish a secondary public high school in Naval, a municipality in Biliran province of the Philippines. The Naval High School was established and operated for school year 1946 to 1947.
After decades of the school's operation, a bill was introduced by late Congressman Marcelino Veloso which became a law on June 19, 1965 converting Naval High School into a chartered state college under R.A. 4309. The conversion placed the school for national funding under the first president, Mr. Alfredo C. Josep. The school then offered vocational and engineering courses as required.
Universityhood
Former Congressman of the lone district of Biliran, Gerry Boy Espina, authored the House Bill 4918, proposing the Naval Institute of Technology be converted into a State University under the name Biliran State University (Bilsu). The conversion will merge NIT and Biliran National Agricultural College (BNAC), a sister school in the municipality of Biliran. The bill, however, was not approved by the Senate. NIT filed another bill with help from the former Congressman of the province, Atty. Glenn Chong; the bill is now to convert the institute into Naval State University. On October 14, 2009, Republic Act 9719 was passed into law converting Naval Institute of Technology into Naval State University.
Curriculum
The Naval Institute of Technology offers a wide array of undergraduate, graduate and short-term courses. Undergraduate courses include education, engineering, and maritime. College of Maritime is NIT's flagship course; since its International Standard Operation (ISO) Certification by Det Norske Veritas, international consulting firm, in 2000, the College has been consistently rated Noteworthy and Satisfactory. New courses added to the college's list are biology, business administration, criminology, economics and practical nursing. Most of these courses are ladderized, pursuant to Executive Order 358.
High School
The High School Department (LHS & SHS) of the university is part of the College of Education (COED).
The Laboratory High School (LHS) features honors and semi-honors sections. The honor section is section A. The semi-honors classes are sections B, and C, which emphasize Mathematics, Filipino, Science and English. Students who are in those classes will be classmates for the rest of their high school life provided that they do not fail a year. On June 2015, the class sectioning was made heterogeneous where students are not sorted based on their intelligence, but randomly. The ninth graders are to choose one of the major classes; Handicrafts (the best major class of all five), Automotive, Ceramics, Foods and Garments. They are supposed to stick with their chosen major class until tenth grade. Dr. Noel P. Tancinco became the chairman of the LHS on 2016 after succeeding Mrs. Rizalina A. Danao. The LHS also has its governing body, the Student Body Organization (SBO) and its own publication, The Molder.
In year 2006-2007 NSU high school students Marching band, known as the Avant Tigers Marching Band, joined Banda Rayhak in Tacloban City. It's their first time to join the contest, luckily they won the contest as the champion. On 2014, they joined the Alturas Drum and Bugle Competition in Tagbilaran, Bohol and won first runner up.
The Seniors of Batch 2007-2008 also joined the 2nd regional Pintados Cheer dance Competition held in Tacloban City. They also won champion.
The Senior High School (SHS) is a new department to cater the Senior High Schools Students under the K-12 Program. Currently there are three tracks/stands offer in the university namely: STEM, BAM, and HESS.
