HISTORY AND PROFILE

The School of Arts and Sciences was one of the three original schools of the Lyceum of the Philippines . It had an enrollment of 350 students when it first opened in 1952, with Prof. Jose A. Adeva Sr. as Dean.

On June 15, 1953, Recognition Nos. 281 282 s. 1953 for Bachelor of Arts and Associate in Arts respectively were granted by the Department of Education after a year of operation. Students taking up the Bachelor of Arts courses can major in the following fields: English, Economics, Filipino Language, Political Science, History, Mathematics, Philippine Culture and Institution, Philosophy, Biology and Spanish.

Dean Jose A. Adeva Sr. was designated on May 17, 1962 as Dean of the School of Humanities and Sciences. This was subsequently followed on May 21, 1962 by the integration of the different schools : the School of Arts and Sciences, Journalism, Foreign Service, Education, and Economics and Business Administration on May 21, 1962.

Towards the end of 1976, the Board of Trustees, in one of its meetings approved the recommendation of Dean Cirilo Montejo of the School of Economics and Business Administration to change the term School ( representing academic department) to College. Henceforth, the School of Humanities and Sciences has been changed to College of Arts and Sciences.

Since its inception in 1952, the College has been headed by the following: Prof. Jose A. Adeva, Dr. Deogracias Villadolid, Dr. Angelina Ramirez, Mrs. Lydia Vergara, Atty. Leon Guinto Sr., Dr. Priscilla Arguelles, Dr. Ernesto Franco, Atty. Orinico Bustamante, Atty. Ramon Tagle, Dr. Rosario Limcauco, Dr. Milda Ang, Dr. Prospero Covar, Dr. Elmer Ordonez, and Prof. Ruby J. Cirineo.

The CAS has for its main thrust the development of its faculty, staff and students. This is achieved through faculty development seminars, classroom visitations, regular faculty meetings and periodic conferences with the Department Chairs. On the part of the students, the college aims to promote their academic and physical development. In carrying this out, it conducts thematic celebrations like Buwan ng Wika, History Week, and Science Week. In addition, the College encourages involvement in different sports activities.
