History

Asian College was founded as the Asian Institute of Electronics (AIE) in 1972 by Dr. Constancio A. Sia and his wife, Gloria Durano-Sia. Within 15 years, it managed to expand campuses outside Metro Manila. The Baliuag branch was opened in 1988, followed by Dumaguete in 1991, and then Cagayan de Oro in 1994. In the succeeding years, it managed to open other campuses in different locations across the country specifically on: Novaliches, Caloocan, and Alabang in National Capital Region; Masinag and Antipolo in Region 4; and Cabanatuan in Region 3. Six (6) franchised campuses were subsequently established, namely Carriedo, Manila and Mandaluyong in National Capital Region; Sta Maria, Bulacan and Pampanga in Region 3; Calamba, Laguna in Region 4 and Sorsogon in Region 5. Student population mainly determine the longevity of the campuses.

In June 1995, AIE was accredited by then-DECS (Department of Education Culture and Sports), as a full-fledged college, thus a change in name to Asian College of Science and Technology (ACSAT).

In 2012, the board of trustees decided to change the short name of the school to “Asian College” to emphasize that the institution does not merely cater on science and technology courses alone, but also focuses on developing professionals in the fields of business and management.
