National College of Business and Arts

In 1968, at the corner of R. Papa and Lepanto streets, between the two giants in Philippine private education (University of the East with its mammoth population of 65,000 and Far Eastern University with its 47,000 enrollment), a small building was erected to house a small school – National College of Business and Arts.As an institution of higher education, we are a teaching and learning community dedicated to the search for truth, the transmission of knowledge, and the appreciation of beauty.

National College of Business and Arts is committed to the education of the whole person – mind and heart, body and spirit. Our undergraduate programs are built on a core curriculum rooted in the liberal arts and business administration. Our curricula are balanced with career preparation and stress the importance of integrating knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and aesthetic appreciation. Our graduate programs concentrate in the areas of professional studies which combine theory and practice. In addition to our academic programs, we are actively engaged with the local community in providing cultural, educational, and professional events.

National College of Business and Arts attracts a student population with a broad range of backgrounds, abilities, and needs. We admit freshman, transferees, and graduate students. Some of our students are working fulltime who choose to study part-time by attending our night classes .

For 50 years, NCBA has demonstrated an ability to adapt to changes in society. We remain flexible and innovative within the context of our mission/vision. Our future actions will remain focused on our commitment to the total development of our students as a whole person and become more involved with the local community. We will continue to renew and improve our programs and services so that our graduates will be well prepared to work in the twenty-first century.
