The university is accredited by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities - Commission On Accreditation (PACUCOA) as a level II school and awards degrees in associate, bachelor, master, and doctorate levels through its Colleges and School of Graduate Studies. It also offers complete basic education (pre-school, elementary & junior high school) through its School of Basic Education, formerly Integrated School (IS). Senior high school is being offered in the institution as well.
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. They believed that the school would fulfill their dream of Filipinos embracing Christian ideals and tenets. 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.
On February 11, 2008, the Commission on Higher Education found West Negros College to be in full compliance of their requirements and granted West Negros College status as a university (WNU).
In 2014, the institution significantly changed its name to STI West Negros University and in 2015, the remaining sole Bacolod campus of STI College in nearby Lacson Street (initially established in 2013) and the West Negros University - Integrated School in Eroreco Subdivision transferred and merged all of its operations to the newly renovated campus in Burgos Street. The school could also be accessed through its backgate at LN Agustin Drive.
