The year 1950 marked the founding of the College of Technological Sciences, Inc. (formerly Cebu Technical School). It was originally housed at Doña Amparo Building at Corner Sanciangko & Junquera Sts., Cebu City.
Initially CTS offered the following courses:
- 1 Year - Commercial Radiotelephone Operator
- 2 Years - Commercial Radiotelegraph Operator

On March 18, 1958 the School was officially organized as a stock corporation pursuant to SEC Registration No. 16461. The founders committed themselves “to organize, establish, maintain, and conduct a progressive institution of learning of high academic standing which will emphasize vocational and technical knowledge . . .”
In 1969, CTS offered the following additional courses:
- 1 Year - Refrigeration & Air-condition Mechanic
- 1 Year - Applied/Practical Electricity
Curricula of courses offered were reviewed and redirected to make them relevant and responsive to the needs of industry. In 1973, courses offered were recognized by the Bureau of Private School.
In 1976, pursuant to Department Order No. 23, the two-year General Radio Communication Operator course was offered to meet the international standard for overseas employment, to which the Philippines was committed under the Geneva Convention.
In 1977, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports approved CTS application to offer a five-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering (BSECE).
In 1978, in answer to domestic and international shipping needs, CTS obtained approval to operate the following additional courses:
- 2 Years - Marine Electronic Technician
- 2 Years - Marine Electrical Technician
- 2 Years - Marine Refrigeration Technician
Through the difficult years, the school has never lost sight of its mandate to mold young Filipinos in the field of sciences and technology. Its graduates has brought honors to their Alma Mater by topping government board exams. CTS has produced successful graduates who are now employed in the various sectors of economy, holding responsible positions in firms both public and private. Others have gone abroad earning foreign exchange for the country. Many more shall follow in their footsteps.
Today, CTS looks beyond the confines of its four walls. It has linkages with the leaders in education technology. Likewise, CTS has developed linkages with industry to conform its courses to the demands of industry.
