In 1984, the University began offering computer courses as part of the BS in Business Administration program. These courses were available for both credit-earning subjects and nondegree computer courses. In 1986, the CCSS was known as the Computer Institute for Studies and Systems (CISS). Initially, the institute offered nondegree computer training programs in consortium with the University of the Philippines until 1987. Nati C. San Gabriel served as the Director of the CISS and later became the Dean when the Institute was established as a College.

After Dean San Gabriel’s retirement in 1997, Presidio R. Calumpit Jr., who was crucial to the transformation of the CISS into the CCSS, became the second CCSS Dean in May 1997. An Economics graduate of CAS Manila and a Master of Science in Computer Science graduate of the Ateneo de Manila University, Dean Calumpit holds the CCSS deanship to this day, along with being the National President of the Philippine Society of Information Technology Educators Foundation Inc. (PSITE) and a Member of the Board of Directors of the Philippine Computer Society (PCS), both for SY 2004-2005.

The UE Management has been supportive in updating physical facilities since the first semester SY 1998-1999, with the major renovation of the CCSS Academic Building. Today the College has five computer laboratory rooms at the ground floor and four at the Panfilo O. Domingo Center for IT Building.

The university has migrated from ATM to Gigabit Ethernet to support its growing online requirements. It has expanded its online learning capabilities and improved its administrative functionality at its Manila campus with an Ethernet networking solution from Nortel Networks. [3] The upgrade has significantly improved the speed and performance of student and faculty access to online learning resources and academic records. The upgrade has also supported the university's plan for a unified communications network that will ultimately link the Manila facility with campuses in Caloocan and Quezon City.

Department Profile

The college curriculum spans from computer programming, computer organization, computer systems, data structures and algorithms, file processing, programming languages, database systems, software engineering, artificial intelligence and computer networks.

Besides the four-year Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) program, and in response to the needs of the industry, the College has added three other courses: a two-year degree program in Associate in Computer Technology (ACT) in June 1998, a four-year degree program in Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) in June 2000, and a four-year program in Bachelor of Science in Information Management (BSIM) in June 2004.
