The College of Business (COB) is one of eight undergraduate and graduate schools of De La Salle University . It was established in 1920 as the College of Commerce, when the University began offering a two-year commercial course. In 1931, the Bachelor of Science in Commerce degree was first conferred after a third year was added to the initial two-year program.
