City University of Pasay (Filipino: Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasay), commonly abbreviated as CUPasay, is a city-controlled, public university in Pasadeña St., F.B. Harrison, Pasay City. Its major purpose is to provide education to the less-privileged yet deserving students of the City and to some others that meet admission requirements set forth by the Board of Regents.

History

The City University of Pasay was founded on May 26, 1994 by the virtue of city ordinance.^[2] The constitution was conceptualized by Hon. Pablo N. Cuneta with the city councilors and other local officials.

The school started with 384 students and 11 faculty members, holding evening classes at the Pasay City West High School. Dr. Felimon Salas and his staff at the guidance research center composed the working group for the university. Dr. Amor Peñalosa and Dr. Estela Portugal paved the way toward the recognition of the university as an institution of higher learning leading to the approval of programs by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The Division of City Schools, Pasay City played a significant role in the development of the university: not only the consultative service but also personnel services including the use of school facilities.

Mission and vision

The university was established for the following purposes:

• To provide at minimal cost of post of secondary education to the resident of the city as well as to others who may be admitted as per qualification for admission set by the Board of Regents.
• To assist the City Government in the training and development of its personnel for more efficient administration.
• To inculcate in its student a sense of integrity and public services and prepare them to be the dedicated citizens of the City.

Academics

Today, the university offers degree programs in the areas of teacher education, law, business administration, nursing, health education, hotel and restaurant management, and computer education. The School of Law is led by young and dynamic law professors with strong dedication and commitment to produce new lawyers for the country.

CUPasay looks forward to achieving the objectives of the city and tertiary education as well as by focusing of the area of accreditation. It is expected that this will bring about quality assurance and organizing stability.
