Beginning this First Semester of AY 2026β2027, ISUFST brings its computing programs across campuses under one name: the College of Informatics and Computing Innovations (CICI). The change was approved through ISUFST Board of Regents Resolution No. 378, s. 2026, during the BOR meeting at Aklan State University on August 6, 2026.
Across ISUFST, computing programs used to belong to colleges with different namesβthe College of Information and Communications Technology (CICT) at MainβPoblacion and Di**le, the College of Technology (COT) at Dumangas, and the College of Computer Studies (CCS) at San Enrique. CICI now gives them one shared identity and more opportunities to work and grow together.
For ISUFST President Dr. Nordy D. Siason Jr., the change is ultimately about preparing the University and its students for what comes next.
βCICI is more than a new name for our computing programs. It reflects our commitment to keep pace with a rapidly changing digital world while giving our students more opportunities to learn, create, innovate, and solve real problems. By bringing our computing programs together, we can better share our strengths across campuses and prepare our graduates not simply to adapt to technology, but to help shape it.β
Indeed, CICI reflects how quickly the world of computing is changing, with growing fields such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, cybersecurity, human-computer interaction, smart systems, and informatics becoming part of where IT education is headed. It also creates room for future programs and specializations responsive to a rapidly changing digital economy.
Under CICI, the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) remains at the heart of the College's academic offerings across the campuses, complemented at the Main CampusβPoblacion Site by the Master in Information Technology (MIT) and Doctor in Information Technology (Professional Track). The proposed academic structure likewise opens pathways for future programs in Computer Science, Information Systems, and other emerging computing disciplines.
For ISUFST, the shift signals something larger: moving beyond simply using technology toward creating, innovating, and solving real-world problems through itβfrom smart agriculture and digital fisheries to research-driven technological solutions for communities and industries.
Welcome to the College of Informatics and Computing InnovationsβCICI. One name. One ISUFST computing community. Many possibilities. (Herman Lagon | Jessa Pasquin-Nacion | PAMMCO | Poster AI Assisted)
