STI West Negros University has an enrollment of about 10,000 students per semester and produces 1,500 graduates every school year.

West Negros College (WNC) was founded in 1948 by three Baptist women leaders - Luciana Aritao, Teresa Padilla and Rosario Remitio after the Second World War.

Leodegario Natividad Agustin became the school President in the 1970s; he provided the impetus, despite financial odds, to make West Negros College a successful academic community.

In April 2013, STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc. announced in a disclosure that they had signed a memorandum of agreement with West Negros University for the acquisition of a controlling interest in the school.
