The College of Computer Studies (CCS) is the newest member college of De La Salle University-Manila which was established in 1981 as the Center for Planning, Information, and Computer Science offering only a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. The department was formally declared as a college in 1984. The college was transferred to its new building, the Gokongwei Building, which was then known as the INTELLECT (Information Technology Lecture) Building in 1990. In 1996 the college was granted semi-autonomous status along with the Graduate School of Business which led into the establishment of De La Salle-Professional Schools, Inc.. The college became a part of DLS-PSI but later transferred back to DLSU-Manila.
