CCC has grown so that it was now time to move on to another stage.-
Phenomenal may be the proper word to describe the growth of the University of Cebu as well as the improvement in the quality of its education. When this institution started, there were two (2) departments: Commerce and Secretarial. At present, apart from the five service Departents of Languages, Mathematics, Physical Education, the Biological and the Social Sciences, we have the Colleges of Commerce and Business Administration, Computer Science, Criminology, Education, Engineering, Hotel and Restaurant Management, Liberal Arts, Maritime Education, and, Nursing. We now even have a Graduate School.

In the past, there was only one humble campus. Now, there are five (5) different campuses. besides the Main Campus that houses the Administrative offices and most of the colleges, there is the Engineering and Education Campus, the UC-Lapulapu and Mandaue Campus (UCLM), the UC-Maritime Education and Training Center (UC-METC), and the UC - Information and Communication Technology Center (UC-ICTC).

UC has grown, not only numerically but also structurally and physically. And, with the Elementary School, through the efforts of Dr. Erlinda P. Barcelo and the stewardship of the late Ms. Virginia Taleon, the median age of a UC student has dropped. As UC cruises through its 36th year, it is certainly getting younger.

With the committed support of Atty. Augusto W. Go, Ms. Candice Gotianuy, the Vice Presidents, the Deans and the various department heads, UC has many course offerings with Accredited Status: At Level II, with 2nd Reaccredited Status are the courses of BSMT and BSMARE. At Level II, with 1st Re-accredited Status are the Colleges of Criminology and the Hotel and Restaurant Management. At Level I are the colleges of Commerce, Computer Engineering and Information and Computer Science. And, through the initiative of its Chancellor, Ms. Candice Gotianuy, the UC-METC has been accredited by the Det Norske Veritas (DNV), an internationally acknowledged accrediting agency in the maritime industry. The UC-METC SOLAS Training Center, what was originally Mr. Abraham Estrella's "baby, " has long been accredited by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate. UC has also become CISCO's Regional Academy in the Visayas and Mindanao through the efforts of Dean Ofelia Maņa as well as the support of Engr. Artemio Sanchez. The College of Hotel and Restaurant Management under Dr. Felipe Embalzado has also sent HRM Practicumers to Singapore.

Among the universities of Cebu, only UC has produced two consecutive winners in the annual search for the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (TOSP): Mr. Christian Lauron (BSA '97) and Ms. Sanilyn Dalidig (BSA '98). This would not have been possible without the guidance and inspiration of Mr. Bartolome Pozon and the support of the Student Affairs Office under Dr. Fe Necessario.
-
It is only UC which has been granted permission to offer Distance Education for a possible Criminology Degree of PNP Personnel and attached units - in itself, a recognition of the standards of the College of Criminology under the leadership of Dr. Artemio I. Panganiban.

UC has arrived.
