College of Information Technology
History
The College of Information Technology was conceptualized as the University’s response to the manpower needs of labor market that was rapidly overtaken by advances in the field of Information Technology.
The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) program started in 1998 as one of the academic programs of the College of Arts and Sciences under the deanship of Dr. Magdalena M. Pagalilauan and Mr. Edison D. Bravo as Program Head. It opened with only 110 enrolees. Revisions of the curriculum were made in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2005, and 2007.
Effective 1st Semester, SY 2005-2006, the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) program under the College of Arts and Sciences was developed into the College of Information Technology, with Dr. Mary Jane D. Aragon as first Dean of the new College. In line with this modification, the College offered Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) by virtue of Resolution No. 233 s. 2005. The program started with 14 enrolees. Cagayan State University is the first state/government university in the Region to offer graduate program in Information Technology.
The College has simultaneously embarked on an intensive human and physical resources development which contributed to the 600% increase in enrolment in 2005. As of March 2007, the College has already graduated 292 students.
On January 2007, with Mr. Gregory M. Danguilan as the next Dean, the College started its membership with Microsoft Developers Network Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) program. Through membership in MSDNAA, the University can deliver technical training on Microsoft technology to students in order to meet the demands of future employers and the global technology marketplace.
On the same year, the College of Information Technology joined the Ladderization Education Program as spearheaded by TESDA. Every year level is an exit point so that those who will not be able to finish the four-year degree course will be able to receive certifications and competencies and be equipped to look for a related job.
This year, the College expanded even more as a new program, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS), is offered to meet the ever growing need of highly technological manpower in the region. This was made possible through the leadership of Ms. Adelina N. Apeles and Department Chair Mr. Edison D. Bravo.
