Colleges The College of Agriculture provides undergraduate programs in Agribusiness, Agronomy and Animal Science. The college is located in a 29-hectare agricultural complex, two kilometers north of the main campus. Its beginnings can be traced to as early as 1913, when Dr. David S. Hibbard, first president of Silliman Institute, was instructed to make provisions for a “school garden and a farm”. In 1950, it was formalized and established as a department, and in 1976, was constituted into what was then known as the School of Agriculture. The years 1977 to 1980 saw the construction of modern classrooms, a laboratory complex, eight dormitories and a library, and the renaming of the school into what is now known as the “College of Agriculture”. The College of Arts and Sciences has 18 major courses leading to several degree programs. At present, it is composed of the departments of Anthropology and Sociology, Biology, Chemistry, English and Literature, History and Political Science, Filipino and Foreign Languages, Mathematics, Philosophy and Religion, Physics, Psychology, Social Work Department. During its early years (1902 up to the war years), the College of Arts and Sciences was composed of the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Sciences. In 1947, both colleges were merged to become the College of Arts and Sciences. The College of Business Administration offers five undergraduate courses in Business Administration (majors in General Business, Management and Economics), Accountancy, Entrepreneurship, Business Computer Applications, and Office Management. It also has one graduate program in Business Administration namely Master in Business Administration. Established as a college in 1938, it is now composed of the departments of Management, Economics, Accountancy, Business Computer Applications, Entrepreneurship, and Commercial Science. Due to its consistently high performance in accountancy board examinations, the college has been designated by CHED as a Center of Development in Accountancy Education.
