History

October 1947, a group of civic-minded individuals of various occupations pooled together their resources for a very laudable endeavor by establishing an educational institution named Parent- Teacher College (PTC). The aim, as defined in its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, is to give elementary, secondary, collegiate, and vocational education, with a non-political and non-sectarian characteristic. The institution formally opened in June 1948 and had admitted not only children and youth to earn degree, but also men and women already employed who need further educational growth, knowledge and skills to help them advance professionally in their respective fields of endeavor.

To attain the aims of the founders, the school initially offered classes in the elementary and secondary (day and night); and courses in Education, Liberal Arts, Secretarial and Commerce in the tertiary level. The first classes met in a two-storey building at the corner of Apolinar Velez and Claro Recto Streets. Seven years later, after the school’s formal opening in 1948, all academic activities were transferred to Asok Building at the corner of Tiano Brothers and Gomez Streets, Cagayan de Oro City.

In 1955, a bigger lot situated at Carmen, Cagayan de Oro was acquired by the school. A two-storey building was constructed to house the classrooms, the administrative offices and laboratory rooms, and was occupied later in that same year.

In 1967, the College had complete offerings in Liberal Arts, Education, Commerce, and Criminology. In that same year, the Board of Trustees changed the institution’s name from Parent-Teacher College (PTC) to Cagayan de Oro College (COC).

In 1970, COC offered full courses leading to Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Architecture, and Associate in Geodetic Engineering.

In 1981-1982, the College was authorized to offer Master of Arts in Teaching Social Studies and Bachelor of Science in Secretarial Administration.

In 1984, the College received permission from the then Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports (MECS) to offer Bachelor of Elementary Education course. In the same year, the Graduate expanded its major fields of concentration when it received from MECS permit to offer Master of Arts in Educational Administration and Master of Arts in Elementary Education.

Under the College Engineering and Architecture, new courses were opened to meet the demand for labor force who could respond to advanced technological endeavors. In June 1988, COC opened the two-year technical-vocational courses in Mechanical Technology, Electrical Technology , and Electronics Technology, obtaining government recognition in March 1991. In 1993, a permit to offer a full course in Bachelor of Science in Geodetic Engineering was granted. A year after, a permit was issued by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS) to offer the first three years of five-year courses in Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering. As part of the ladderized curriculum of Bachelor of Science in Architecture which commenced in June 1991, a Certificate of Building Technology may be granted to those students who have finished the first three years of the said course, while Certificate of Architectural Interior may be granted to those who have finished the four curriculum years.

In the College of Arts and Sciences, three new courses were granted government recognition, namely: a four-year course leading to a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1990, Bachelor of Science in General Science in 1991, and the first two years of Associate in Computer Science in 1994. Three new courses are offered, AB Journalism, AB Broadcasting and AB Mass Communication, in AY 2001-2002. These courses are now granted Government Recognition.

The College of Commerce and Secretarial offered Marketing as an additional major in its Bachelor of Science in Commerce effective school year 1989-1990. The Bachelor of Science in Commerce ceased to offer Accounting as a major and, instead, this field was given a separate designation, now called Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, which is currently being offered in the College of Accountancy. It was granted recognition in 1993. The Bachelor of Science in Secretarial Administration offered Computer Secretarial Education as another major field.In June 1994, BSC major in Management Accounting was offered.

New advanced courses were also opened in the Graduate School, namely: Master in Government Management and Ph.D. in Educational Administration and Supervision in 1998, Master of Science in Criminology in 1999, and Master in Engineering Management in 2000. The Ph.D. in Educational Administration and Supervision was granted government recognition in 2001.

At present, Cagayan de Oro College is the only Educational Institution in the country to have been granted the authority to operate a commercial T.V. and Radio Stations by virtue of RA 8740.COC, as a proud and renowned member of various national associations, boasts of national awards for two straight years-the third and second highest accredited programs in 2003 and 2004, respectively bestowed by the Philippine Association of Colleges and University-Commission on Accreditation (PACU-COA).

Cagayan de Oro College became part of Phinma Education Network on June 29, 2005, thus started the dawning of the new Cagayan de Oro College.
