Established in 1996 as Bohol Northeastern Colleges, a non-stock non-profit educational institution, by civic minded leaders from Ubay with the aim of providing the best tertiary education in northern Bohol, the school saw rapid increase in enrollment. Thus it was converted into Bohol Northern Star College, a stock corporation, in January 2007 to efficiently administer the tertiary courses and for the secondary/grade school as the Bohol Northern Educational Foundation. The emergent institutions continue true to the founders' philosophy to help the community by educating minds and molding noble hearts.
