[edit] History

As early as 1984, the University started offering computer courses built into the curriculum of the BS in Business Administration program, both as credit-earning subjects as well as non-degree computer courses.

In 1986, the CCSS was known as the Computer Institute for Studies and Systems (CISS). Its initial offerings up to 1987 were non-degree computer training programs conducted in consortium with the University of the Philippines. Nati C. San Gabriel was the Director of the CISS and later the Dean when the Institute became 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 ground floor computer laboratories and the CCSS offices. Today the College has five computer laboratory rooms of 41-unit capacity, fully connected via local area networks, one digital workshop-laboratory, one presentation room (PCTV Room), aside from over 300 Pentium-IV computers is a server room . These rooms are equipped with the latest equipment and materials in computer technology.

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.

The CCSS academic mission is to provide relevant, quality computer education affordable to the mass-based studentry in the country.

The CCSS provides premium education to its students especially through the College’s tie-ups with three global education partners: (1) with Microsoft Corporation, the CCSS has three partnership agreements-under the Microsoft IT Academy Program (MSITA), the Microsoft Developer Network Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) and Microsoft Learning (MSL); (2) with Oracle Corporation via the Oracle University and Oracle Academic Initiative (OU-OAI) programs; and with Pearson Education Asia. These tie-ups allow the CCSS to deliver industry-relevant, marketable knowledge and skills to its students-to prepare them for a full-fledged IT career or to equip them with IT acumen that would serve them well in other professions.

The Commission on Higher Education in cooperation with the Technical panel for Information Technology Education (TPITE) identified the University of the East as a Center of Development in Information Technology Education. The COD in Information Technology Education was given to the university for the period starting March 1, 2007 to December 31, 2010
