History

College of the Immaculate Conception was founded by Rev. Fr. Ruperto T. Rosario, Cabanatuan parish priest, in 1926 as San Nicolas Catholic School (Grade School). In 1936, the school was renamed Cabanatuan Institute by its then Director, Rev. Carlos S. Inquimboy. In the same year also, the Reverend Sisters of Paul de Chatres came and helped in the administration of the school for four years. To the Reverend Sisters are attributed the opening to the public secondary courses, and the establishment of a dormitory for girls.

In 1950, Right Rev. Msgr. Pacifico B. Araullo became the next head; and in 1962 the school was elevated to college status, and was thus renamed College of the Immaculate Conception or better known as CIC. Msgr. Araullo was CIC's Founder and first President. It was during his term that the school greatly progressed and became known in the city and province for being the first Catholic College in Nueva Ecija, In 1973, CIC was chosen as the Center for the Applied Nutrition Program and Teacher Training for Nueva Ecija. It had also served as testing centers for the selection of DOST and PSHS scholars. Msgr. Araullo served CIC until his death in 1980.
