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 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.

Academics

Today, the university offers degree programs in the areas of teacher education, law, business administration, nursing, health education, political science, and computer education. The School of Graduate Studies offers graduate degree programs in education management and public governance.

The college serves as the research center maximizing the use of the faculty resources, data banking and research forum.

Governance and administrative structure

The University President works in partnership with the four sectoral vice presidents, namely: Executive Vice Presidents, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Vice President for Administration and Vice President for Legal Affairs. Each of the vice presidents is assisted by directors and other officials for the effective implementation of their functions.
