INTRODUCTION
Background and Rationale
The College of Computer Studies (CCS) at Central Philippine University (CPU) started in 1995 when the course Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) was offered as a degree program under the College of Commerce. The program aims to fill the growing need for computer literate professionals in the field of business.
On June 2001, in line with the recommendation of the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) to pool all related courses into one college, the CPU administration decided to transfer the department under the College of Engineering (COE). The department was merged with the Department of Software Engineering.
On June 2002, the College of Commerce offered a new program, Bachelor of
Information Science and Management (BISM). The offering of this course was made to integrate Information Technology to all business and management courses.
In 2003, the University President, Dr. Juanito M. Acanto recommended to the Board of Trustees for the creation of the College of Computer Studies which will be composed of three departments:
Computer Science, Information Sciences and Management and
Information Technology. This continuing growth in the life of the College is brought about by the increasing need of competent information technology professionals.
In a nutshell, the performance of an educational institution’s performance is partly measured by the employability of its graduates. At present, the college needs to determine the factors that affect graduates’ employability and analyze the benefits of it in
the preparation of soon to be graduates and enable them to meet the challenges of
