Bachelor of Science in Commerce was one of the initial programs offered by the school upon its founding in 1963. During the tenure of Rev. Fr. Aniceto M. Franco as President in 1966, he appointed a separate dean for the College of Commerce. Through the years, the College has undergone changes, additions and deletions among its courses in response to the demands of the times.
In 2004, the College of Commerce was renamed College of Business Administration. In 2007, it became Department of Business Administration under the School of Business with three major fields of concentration, namely: Business Management, Marketing Management, and Financial and Management Accounting.
Today, it regains its status as a college, the College of Business Administration and is being considered as one of the biggest colleges in the university. CBA offers two majors in the BSBA program: Operations Management and Marketing Management.
