Introduction/Department Overview

College of Computer Studies

Recognizing the potential for computer literacy in society, San Pablo Colleges, under the initiative of its Chairman of the Board, Dr. Quintin C. Eala, Jr., pioneered short-term courses in computer in San Pablo City in 1985 with 161 enrollees under Mr. Emiliano D. Balinton who is the Director of the SPC Computer Center. Five years after, a two-year course in Associate in Computer Science was offered with 80 enrollees. In 1995, a BS Computer Science program was opened. Supervision was then under the College of Business Administration Dean with a Director for Computer Center. It was in 1997 that there was a re-organization with the creation of the College of Computer Studies having the following programs: BS Computer Science, Associate in Computer Technology and Associate in Computer Secretarial under a new Dean.

In 2008, the Associate in Computer Secretarial Program was changed to Associate in Office Administration with Computer Applications to make it more relevant to the needs of the times. The BSCS and ACT academic curricula are based on CHED Order No. 253 series of 2006 entitled Policies and Standards for Information Technology (ITE) Programs while the AOA academic curriculum is based on CHED Order No. 22, series of 2006 entitled Policies and Standards for Bachelor of Science in Office Administration. In 2011, a BS Information Technology program was opened. It academic curricula was based on CHED Order No. 53. series of 2006. The curricula for BSCS, ACT and AOA have been noted by the Director of CHED-RO IV-A while Temporary permit for the operation of First to Second Year for BSIT was granted by CHED-RO IV-A last December 2010. The policies contained in this manual serve as the foundation of beliefs that create the direction, actions and procedures of the COLLEGE OF COMPUTER STUDIES in particular and San Pablo Colleges in general. It is hoped that these policies serve as a useful reference tool for the faculty, students and staff.
