DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT As an academic arm of the Catholic University of the Philippines, the Department of Computer Science is committed in producing competent, compassionate and committed graduates who are always critical with presently existing algorithmic foundations and efficient application of computing solutions which adheres to high ethical standards. In line with this commitment, the Department pursues three main objectives. First, the Department aims to develop students who are critical with the underlying algorithms in large-scale software development, intelligent software applications development, computer graphics and animation and other projects requiring efficient utilization of computing resources. Second, the Department seeks to prepare students to become proficient in the efficient analysis, design and implementation of computing solutions which are relevant to the present needs of the community. Third, the Department strives to conduct innovative research in order to help address present concerns, and to contribute in shaping future directions in computing. HISTORY Consistent with its goal of being relevant to the fast-developing world, the College of Science of the University of Santo Tomas introduced the B.S. Mathematics major in Computer Science in 1984. Due to the increasing demand and to have more focus, the program was renamed B.S. Computer Science program in 1999. In June 2004, the B.S. Computer Science program was ceded to the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Santo Tomas under the Department of Information and Computer Studies. In June 2013, the Department of Computer Science became a newly-established unit under the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Santo Tomas.
