The Ramon V. Del Rosario, Sr. Graduate School of Business is the graduate school for business of the College of Business and Economics of De La Salle University.

It is situated within the De La Salle University campus along Taft Avenue in Manila as well as within the campus of La Salle Green Hills in Mandaluyong, at the RCBC Tower in Makati and in De La Salle-Canlubang. It also has an extension program in Bandung, Indonesia in partnership with Maranatha Christian University.

History

It was first established in 1998 as an answer to the pressing needs of De La Salle University's College of Computer Studies and Graduate School of Business, where it became an autonomous unit of the De La Salle University System as De La Salle University-Professional Schools, Inc. (DLSU-PSI). The College of Computer Studies later transferred back to De La Salle University.

When De La Salle Philippines was established in 2006, DLSU-PSI was renamed to De La Salle-Professional Schools Inc. and separated itself from De La Salle University where the library, clinic, registrar, testing, admissions, information technology and security services were no longer be shared by the two campuses. DLS-PSI was transferred from the St. La Salle Hall to the 21th floor of the Br. Andrew Gonzalez Hall in August 31, 2006.

The Board of Trustees of DLS-PSI, decided to become autonomous in order to offer services better suited to its working graduate students. Its expansion to Green Hills, Makati, and Canlubang as well as through possible foreign extension programs, prompted DLS-PSI to become fully independent from De La Salle University.

In November 15, 2006, a joint resolution by the Board of Trustees of the De La Salle Professional Schools, Inc. and the National Mission Council of De La Salle Philippines renamed the Graduate School as Ramon V. del Rosario, Sr. Graduate School of Business. It was formally presented to the PHINMA founder during PHINMA's fiftieth anniversary. In 2008, DLSPS was re-integrated to De La Salle University under the College of Business and Economics.
