The Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College (ISPSC) – Main Campus traces its roots to 1975, when the institution began as the Candon Community College (CCC). At the time, the community college offered non-degree programs, including midwifery and secretarial courses.
Through a bill sponsored by then-Congressman Hon. Eric D. Singson, Candon Community College sought integration into the University of Northern Philippines (UNP) in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. This led to the enactment of Republic Act No. 6744, which established the CCC–University of Northern Philippines Branch on August 11, 1989.
The institution later became part of the Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College (ISPSC) system, developing into a higher education institution offering programs across education, business, computing, health sciences, criminology, and the liberal arts.
The ISPSC Main Campus offers a diverse range of undergraduate programs in liberal arts, political science, computer science, business administration, office administration, teacher education, criminology, midwifery, and nursing.
Its historical development from Candon Community College reflects the institution’s long-standing role in providing higher education opportunities in Candon and surrounding communities. Students can choose from academic pathways leading to careers in education, business, information technology, public service, healthcare, and other professional fields.
