University of Batangas

HISTORY

The University of Batangas traces its history as a small school then named Western Philippine Colleges which started with 48 students in a small rented house in Rizal Avenue, Batangas City more than half a century ago on April 28, 1946. It was founded by Mr. Juan Y. Javier together with Rev. Fr. Vicente Catapang, Atty. Francisco Perez, Atty. Jesus Arguelles, Atty Roman Perez and Atty. Pablo Umali. This noble group of men saw the need to put up an institution that would provide the youth, particularly the residents of Batangas, an opportunity to pursue higher education. Through their pioneering efforts and the inspiration they left as a legacy for succeeding administrators, the school has grown steadily to become one of the largest higher education institutions in the whole Southern Tagalog Region, a major University offering a wide range of academic and professional programs to a diverse student body of over 10,000. Throughout that time, the commitment of the University of Batangas to academic excellence and community service has continued to reflect the values and vision of the University’s founding fathers
The University of Batangas is committed to serving diverse student body, with a wide range of religious, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds who come not only from the CALABARZON area but also from the neighboring island provinces as well. The University sponsors outreach programs such as tuition free secondary night school serving disadvantaged students in the community.
Through its example of educational excellence, community leadership, service and opportunities for lifelong learning, the University of Batangas is linked to its graduates in other ways than through the degrees they receive. The UB graduates have succeeded in an environment that values professional competence and proper moral and social attitudes. They are inculcated with the values of faith in God, love of wisdom and service to fellowmen- values that will be with them throughout their lives and careers as they carry on the vision of the University’s founding fathers.
