[edit] History

UDM, which was formerly known as the City College of Manila or CCM, was founded in 1995 during the term of Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim. Its main campus used to occupy the Philippine National Bank building within the district of Santa Cruz until its transfer to its current location in June 2006. In the same year, by virtue of the amendments of Ordinance No. 7885, which was authored by Majority Floor Leader Ernesto Dionisio and some members of the majority bloc, it acquired its new official name. Manila City officials, including Mayor Lito Atienza, also initiated the elevation of CCM to a university.

Recently, the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) allowed the university to confer postgraduate studies. UDM would eventually offer a new course called Environmental Science, which is apparently inspired by the "built-in laboratories" around the school such as the Mehan Garden and the Botanical Garden on Arroceros Forest Park.

[edit] Student enrollment

In 2005, UDM had more than 14,000 students, of who 9,830 were in the college programs (public administration, mass communications, mathematics, political science, physical therapy, criminology, nursing, electronics, education and computer engineering, among others). More than 4,200 others trained in the so-called ladderized courses. Under this generic program called Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology fall most of the voc-tech courses like automotive mechanics, hotel and restaurant technology, refrigeration and air-conditioning, among others.
