The Lyceum of the Philippines is an institute of higher education located in Manila's Intramuros and founded by Jose P. Laurel. The school is named after lykeion, the grove in ancient Athens where Aristotle taught his pupils. The Lyceum of the Philippines has the reputation for being a bastion of Philippine nationalism, guided by the quote of its founder, "No one can love the Filipinos more than the Filipinos themselves." The institute's educational vision is founded on principles Jose P. Laurel set down.

The Lyceum was founded by Dr. Jose P. Laurel, former president of the Philippines. It opened its gates to its first students on July 7, 1952.

The Lyceum of the Philippines has 3 affiliate schools namely:

• Lyceum of Batangas (Capitol Hills, Batangas City)
• Lyceum Institute of Technology (Laguna)
• Lyceum - St. Cabrini College of Alllied Medicine (Sto. Somas, Batangas)

Colleges

The Lyceum of the Philippines is composed of eight colleges. It also has a graduate school offering master's as well as doctorate degrees.

Arts, Sciences and Education

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 Argüelles, 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.

Business Administration

In 1952, Dr. Jose P. Laurel founded the Lyceum of the Philippines. One of his dreams was to open the door of quality education to the masses. The answer was to open during the same year the School of Commerce headed by the illustrious Senator Gil J. Puyat as its first Dean with Hilarion M. Henares as the Vice Dean.

In 1955, the School of Commerce graduated fifty-three students who joined the public and private sectors and established their own business bringing honor and pride to their Alma Mater.

The School of Commerce was later on expanded and became the School of Economics and Business Administration. In 1976, it became the College of Business Administration.

The College of Business Administration takes pride of the men and women who carried the College through the years leaving behind them their legacy of academic excellence and their dedicated and invaluable service of carrying out the vision of Dr. Jose P. Laurel. The history of the College, therefore, will not be complete without the dedication and commitment of the following deans who endeavored to carry on the challenge of delivering quality business education:

1952 - Senator Gil J. Puyat

1959 - Prof. Emilio F. Constantino

1960 - Prof. Alberto P. Javier

1963 - Prof. Agapito Espinosa

• 1964 - Prof. Francisco G. Jose
• 1965 - Prof. Alberto P. Javier
• 1966 - Prof. Mariano Apacible
• 1967 - Prof. Eliseo T. Tibon
• 1968 - Atty. Julianito Sinay
• 1969 - Dr. Angel Q. Yoingco (Consultant)
• 1972 - Atty. Ernesto dela Paz
• 1976 - Congressman Cirilo G. Montejo
• 1983 - Prof. Mercedes T. Hernandez (Officer-in-charge)
• 1984 - Atty. Roberto P. Laurel
• 1988 - Prof. Ma. Elenita B. Cabrera
• 1996 to present - Dr. Violeta A.V. Lazarro

The College had its share of shining moments etched into its colorful web of triumphs and achievements. It is proud to hold up high the torch of victory when through the years it produced seven (7) topnotchers in the CPA Board Examination since 1992 and seven (7) in the Customs Brokers Licensure Examination since 1999.

In answer to the needs and demands of an environment characterized by increasing emphasis in globalization, shifting economic strengths, rapid advances in information technology and fierce competition, the College expanded its curricular offerings in the following squareiplines: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Marketing, Management, Retail Trade Management, Entrepreneurship, Management Accounting, Economics, Banking and Finance, Computer Data Management and Processing, Tariff and Customs Administration, Security Operation Management, and Public Administration in addition to its Bachelor of Science in Accountancy and Bachelor of Science in Office Administration. All courses are computer-oriented and taught by highly qualified and competent faculty pool composed of Certified Public Accountants, licensed Customs Brokers, lawyers, masteral and doctoral degree holders.

The College holds the PACU-COA Level II-Reaccredited Status in all BSBA programs and has submitted in August 2004 for Level I Accreditation for its BS/Accountancy course.

The freshness of the legacy and the vision of Dr. Jose P. Laurel and the men and women who led the College of Business Administration never fade. They are contemporaneous, a part of contemporary history. It is this legacy which marks the history of the College - that those who are tasked to carry on need not be afraid but inspired in a vibrant, living, pulsating breath.

Computer Studies

The College of Computer Studies (CCS) came to being on August 1, 2001. For almost five years since 1996, Computer Science programs had been under the College of Engineering. Similarly, the non-degree program, Associate in Computer Technology (ACT) subsisted under the same college. During the following years, Lyceum eventually offered additional IT courses in response to the growing needs for computer professionals. It added two new other courses related to the IT industry namely, Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) & Bachelor of Science in Information Management (BSIM).

This change subsequently prompted the establishment of a separate college (College of Computer Studies) to supervise all computer subjects from then on. This was also in order to comply with recent policies set by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

The newly founded college assumed office beside the College of Engineering, located at the third floor. Mr. Julianito Bucayan became the first dean of CCS, together with his assistant Ms. Devy M. Galang. In 2002, Mr. Vicente Pijano took over the post of Mr. Bucayan, who had become the Management Information System (MIS) director by that time.

Engineering

The College of Engineering aims to provide undergraduate programs grounded in fundamentals that prepare students to apply engineering principles creatively and responsibly. The College values academic excellence, academic freedom, professionalism and nationalism among its students, staff, and faculty.

The College is committed to provide students with a strong, broad-based, fundamental engineering education as preparation for careers in industry in a global environment and government.

As for its vision, the College envisions to be the leader in engineering education producing successful graduates, to be recognized for scholarly endeavor, conducting quality research and scholarly approaches in engineering discipline, and to meet the technological needs of industry, government and society.

International Relations

The School of Foreign Service, which was administratively under the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), initially offered the Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (BSFS) degree In School Year (SY) 1954-55, as authorized by the Department of Education under Recognition No. 35 Series of 1954. A total number of 1,000 enrollees in school year 1959-60 prompted Lyceum President Dr. Sotero H. Laurel to separate the School of Foreign Service from the CAS. Dr. Laurel became the Acting Dean of the then newly separated School of Foreign Service which was renamed as the College of Foreign Service (CFS, and finally in 2005, the College of International Relations.

The College had in its roster distinguished and prominent members that included the late President Diosdado Macapagal who became a Special Lecturer teaching Philippine Foreign Relations in 1969. Ten years later, former Ambassador to the Holy See Alberto Katigbak, in his capacity as Dean of the College of Foreign Service, initiated revisions to the BSFS curriculum. In SY 1981-84, Dr. Jose D. Ingles became Dean of the College. He resigned in 1985 to become Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and subsequently Undersecretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). Ambassador Benjamin B. Domingo, who was Dean of the College of Foreign Service from 1995-1998, resigned to become Undersecretary of the DFA.

In 1979, enrollment in the College reached 2,159 students, the second largest enrollment in the entire Lyceum of the Philippines. The College's highest enrollment was reached in 1988-89.

Starting SY 1992-93, Japanese Language (Nihonggo) was offered in addition to French and Spanish Languages that were the original foreign languages offered to Foreign Service students. Mandarin was later offered as another foreign language in 2003-04, although it was initially offered on an experimental basis a few years back. Similarly in the school year 1992-93, International Trade was offered as another major of the BSFS degree. Therefore, during the said school year, the College of Foreign Service begun offering two (2) major programs: BSFS major in Diplomacy and BSFS major in International Trade.

The College encouraged the establishment of College-based organizations to help promote the holistic development of its students. The Foreign Languages Association (FLA) was established in school year 1998-99 as an umbrella organization of foreign language students' associations. The FLA is composed of the Nihonggo Kaiwa Kai (NKK), an association formed in 1992 by Japanese language students; the Institution de la Langue Francaise (ILF), an association of French language students; and the Circulo Cervantino (CC), an association of Spanish language students. In addition, the Foreign Service Club (FSC), and the UNESCO Club, both organizations of Foreign Service students, were established in SY 1998 and SY 2002-03, respectively.

CFS produced graduates who passed the Foreign Service Officer (FSO) Examination given by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and subsequently joined the said Department. These are: Ambassadors Juan Ona, Rosalinda Tirona, Fortunato Oblena and Daniel Espiritu, who took the FSO examination in 1964, 1967, 1969 and 1995, respectively. Ambassador Oblena was third highest passer in 1969 and Vice-Consul Espiritu topped the examination in 1995. Similarly, Prof. Julius Flores, a CFS faculty member, passed the examination and was consequently appointed by the DFA as Vice Consul. Other CFS alumnae who became members of the diplomatic corps were Ma. Amelia Magsajo and Emelinda Lee Pineda.

The College has forged cooperation agreements with varied organizations since SY 1998-99, most notable of which are: a Memorandum of Cooperation with the United Nations Information Center (UNIC), Manila Office; informal agreements with the DFA, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), World Trade Center Metro Manila (WTCMM), Philippine Air Lines (PAL), as well as with many other government and private establishments regarding the practicum training of BSFS students in the said establishments.

The College also established the RP-Japan Internship Program whose first participant was Mr. Manabu Tanaka, a Japanese national who taught Nihonggo classes in the College. It organized the First Foreign Languages Song Festival in SY 2003-2004 that was participated by Philippine students and foreign nationals. The College helped in designing the curriculum for the Master's Degree in Diplomacy offered in the Lyceum's Claro M. Recto Academy for Advanced Studies in SY 2000-2001. This course was later renamed Master of Arts in Foreign Service.

The College started institutionalizing the CFS Faculty Lecture Series on 17 July 1999 to "widen the avenue for intellectual and academic growth through research and sharing insights' and to "promote academic exchanges and discussion and esprit de corps and camaraderie among faculty members". The Lecture Series produced the following:

Two CFS French classes qualified in the Inter-School Video Clip Production Competition during the La Journee Inter-Universitaire de la Francophone sponsored by the Alliance Francaise last 20 March 2004. There were also students who won top honors in the Gawad Pluma't Pandiwari (2003). Some were finalists in the Quiz Bee-General Information and International Affairs (2003 & 2004). One of the College' French language students won second place in the French Language Song Contest (2003) sponsored by the Alliance Francaise. Another student won in the Inter-School Debate Competition (2003); another was First runner-up in the National Rizal Quiz Contest (2001). In 2001, another FS student was Second runner-up in the Inter-College Academic Contest. In SY 1988-1999, first place was won in the Philippine Women Oratorical Contest. During the same school year, an FS student became Head Officer in the World Youth for Peace.

Nerissa Barao was recipient of the Nihonggo Center Foundation Scholarship Grant (15 September 2001); a Foreign Service (FS) student was sent as Philippine Representative to the First ASEAN-Republic of Korea Youth Exchange Program (1998-99); and another FS student was sent as Lyceum Representative to the Second National Youth Parliament (1998-99).
