THE PHILIPPINE WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY - QUEZON CITY
Granted Autonomous Status by the Commission on Higher Education on June 2, 2008
Business is changing as quickly as the world around it. New information technologies, legislation, and global political and economic realities all affect the world of commerce. Recognizing the need for relevant and well-rounded education, the Philippine Women's University established the College of Business Administration. It was the first private school to offer a four-year course in business administration in 1978.
In 1975, CBA was renamed the Conrado Benitez Institute for Business Education (CBIBE) to honor the memory of Dean Conrado Benitez, founder of the College. Continuing the tradition of service and academic excellence, CBIBE produces graduates who are not only equipped with skills for a job market but who also can lead in raising the ethical standards and practices of the business community.
The College of Business Administration helped recognize the First International Conference in the Far East on Economic Interdependence. It was also the founding member of the Philippine Association of Collegiate Schools for Business in 1962. For the Advancement of Business Education in the Philippines, CBA was invited to join the Association of Business Schools of the Philippines and the Ford Foundation.
The community outreach program of CBIBE is a service component of the University Outreach Program (UNICORP). Basically, the entry points are divided through the livelihood and entrepreneurship training. To maintain the service component of the college, it extends a continuing management education to the organized entrepreneurs in the area of consumer cooperatives and credit cooperatives association.
