Our work should make a difference in the quality of business education in the country. To this end, we should try to discover what is most important to do and focus our resources on the most incredible, most enduring benefits. In doing this, we should continually remind ourselves of the inherent worth of all people and make its responsibility to be attentive to everybody's unique needs in our school. To make a difference in the world and turn ideas into action, we must be pioneers in our field, contributors to knowledge, problem solvers, explorer of ideas, and risk-takers.
Our service should be worthy, vigorous, resourceful, courteous, and reliable. In pursuing our mission, we should be a healthy, creative organization with the needed financial and inner resources to produce our best work. To demand the best of ourselves and attract, stimulate, and keep the best people, we must develop an environment that will support innovation, experimentation, and calculated risk-taking. As an organization, we should prize each member of our staff's creative participation, welcome the open exchange of ideas, and foster the practice of careful listening. We must actively encourage the personal well-being and professional development of every person who works here. Therefore, we should maximize the authority and responsibility of each person so that he can continue to make an even more outstanding contribution. Our policies should be implemented sensitively and consistently.
Founded in October 1963, by men of vision whose lives have been dedicated to university administration and teaching, and in varied executive capacities in business and industry and the professions, it did not come as a surprise that they have chosen to dedicate the school exclusively to the development of aspiring young men and women who could meet the workforce requirements of our economy as a developing nation.
PSBA commits to provide the students with an education that will develop analytical thinking, self-expression, moral and social responsibility, and the skill in discovering the truth. Originally launched as a review and training center for Certified Public Accountants under the name of "PHILIPPINE ACCOUNTING AND TAXATION TRAINING SERVICES, Inc." (PATTS), it became, in no time, one of the most prominent CPA review School in the country. From the beginning of its operation, the review program's products have been leading the lists of successful candidates in every CPA examination. Changing its corporate name to the Philippine School of Business Administration (PSBA) in 1966, it offered baccalaureate programs in business administration. Today, it is considered one of the leading schools of business in the country.
In June 1981, PSBA opened a sister school in Quezon City under the name of the Philippine School of Business Administration Inc. – Quezon City, which, like PSBA-Manila, has emphasized the quality of academic programs and scholarship. Located on a sprawling campus, this new school has already gained acceptance of students in the short period of its life, and its enrollment has kept on growing. To help meet the country's management requirements for more advanced and sophisticated industrial and commercial life as well as for further governmental responsibilities, PSBA started to offer the MBA program in June 1979. Effective SY 1993-1994, DECS authorized the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) course, which emphasizes creative scholarship and develops professional competence through a comprehensive understanding of management functions and strategy and coping with future changes in the environment. These graduate programs are mainly conducted on-campus; however, occasional off-campus classes are arranged on representations of business corporations and government agencies, which prefer classes to be conducted for their executive and officers in their work places because of time constraint. Actual off-campus classes are now in operation at the Philippine National Bank, Philippine Tourism Authority, and Congress of the Philippines (for administrative employees) and Rizal's provincial government. Negotiations are in process with other government agencies and private establishments for similar classes.
Cooperative linkages have also been with educational institutions in Asia countries where PSBA provides technical assistance in designing academic programs in business education and providing administrative advisory services and qualified Filipino professors and instructors. Under these arrangements, we have existing tie-ups with institutions of higher learning in Indonesia and Pakistan.
