The Universidad de Manila (abbreviation: UDM) is a public university in the Manila, Philippines. It is one of the two city-funded universities of the City of Manila.
The main campus of UDM, which houses the Administration Building of the Division of City Schools-Manila,[1] is located at the heart of the Mehan Garden adjacent to the Manila City Library and the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Central Terminal. Apart from its main campus, UDM maintains several satellite centers in many parts of the City of Manila such as Escolta, Recto, Del Pan, San Andres, Dapitan and Tayuman.[2]
Bold text==HISTORY==
Universidad De Manila (UDM), formerly known as the City College of Manila (CCM) or Dalubhasaan ng Lungsod ng MayniLa, was founded in 1995 during the term of Manila Mayor Alfredo S. Lim. It was then located at the old Philippine National Bank building within the district of Santa Cruz.
In its early years, and before it acquired its current name and status, many controversies haunted the CCM. Among these issues were the low passing rates that it had received in the past, and its proposed transformation into a district college of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.[3] Both the PLM and the CCM students opposed the plan; thus, it never materialized. In 2005, many environmental groups resisted the construction of the new building at the Mehan Garden, but the City of Manila was firm in its decision of transferring the CCM's main building at the site. In 2006, 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. In the same year, UDM hosted the International Youth Expo.[4]
Recently, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) allowed the UDM to confer postgraduate studies.
[edit] Student enrollment
In 2005, CCM 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, social work, among others).[citation needed]
More than 4,200 others trained in ladderized courses. Under this generic program called Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology fall most of the vocational and technical courses like automotive mechanics, hotel and restaurant technology, refrigeration and air-conditioning, among others. More than 3,500 students are housed in its main campus at the Mehan Garden.[citation needed]

The ten different colleges of UDM offer various degree programs from bachelor to postgraduate degree programs. Having achieved 100-percent board exam pass rate, Criminology and Social Work are both considered as the University's pilot courses.
