Overview

Cebu Normal University

The CNU was established in 1902 as a summer institute of the Philippine Normal University.

But in 1915, the school became an adjunct to the then Cebu Provincial High School.

It was once used as headquarters of the Japanese Imperial Army, using its rooms as prison cells and torture chambers. The 1980s to the 1990s era saw a rapid increase in the school’s population and new buildings. These structures now house the three big colleges of the school: College of Teacher Education(CTE), College of Arts and Sciences (CAS, and the College of Nursing(CN), as well as the museum, the Integrated Laboratory School(ILS), the Graduate School(GS) and Balay Alumni.

On June 27, 1998, the school (then called Cebu State College) attained university status and was named Cebu Normal University (CNU) under Senate Bill 2320 signed by former President Fidel V. Ramos.

In 2008, CNU had two extension colleges in Medellin and Balamban, in Cebu. The University is Region 7's Center of Teacher Development and on August 2009, it became Region 7's Center of Nursing Excellence.

CNU during World War II

The CNU campus was used as headquarters of the Kempetai or Military Police of the Japanese Imperial Army during the second World War. Because of this, the administration building basement have been rumored to have ghosts of those who were killed by the Japanese.

Alumni include the late Philippine Undersecretary of Education Narciso Albarracin, Mr. Hilario Davide Sr., National Model Filipino awardee, and the late Senate President and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Marcelo Fernan, HON. Michelle Mae J. Olvido, who passed the LET exam and ranked third.
