SCIENCE – is from a Latin word “scientia” which means nothing more than definite, knowledge.  It is searching for judgment to which universal answers may be attained – universal, that is, on the part of those who understand the judgment and their bases.  A search that never ends and is never satisfied.

With this, Arts and Sciences department aims to equip the students with the necessary skills, abilities and knowledge through patient practice for a definite goal.  Thus, the students will become reliable economists in the field of AB Economics, dynamic political analysts in AB-Political Science; reliable psychologists in AB/BS Psychology; versatile media practitioners in AB/BS Mass Communication; proficient mathematicians in AB/BS Math; and eloquent English communicators in AB English.

The Latin phrases: AD ASTRA – to the stars; PER ASPERA – through hardship.

Nothing will be achieved the easy way, and in the process of undergoing studies, hardship will be encountered but with patience, one will be able to reach for the star – a bright future.

RADIATING ATOM – signifies the particles which flew out with great energy, and the rays signify these energies – which the department aims for everyone to possess.  Students will be energetic not only in conformity with their fields of specialization, but in all activities which the department will venture into, like Sports fest, IQ contest, News writing for the school’s publications and Student Government, to name a few.

BOTTLE OF INK AND FEATHERED PEN – symbolize that science must not be mistaken for a mere fragmentation of knowledge.  It entails a great deal of scientific research and analysis, more than just exploration.  The objectives of such analysis are to end up to a series of points, findings and generalization.  The study demands certain basic written work and test.  Formal lectures and discussions will be employed and students are expected to take down notes and to remember what the instructors have taught.

TEST TUBE – emphasizes laboratory work, experimentations and individual scientific researches included in Chemistry and other natural science subjects.  It represents the scientific quest for knowledge based on experiments and other scientific processes.
