History

The Graduate School of University of the East first started with the organization of the Graduate School of Business followed later by the Graduate School of Education.
The Graduate School of Business was organized in 1948 in response to the clamor of accounting graduates of UE for a graduate degree. The first program offered was a one-year master's degree course in accounting which was later superseded by two-year programs in Master in Business Administration and Master of Arts in Economics. This curricular change aimed at meeting the increasing demand for trained professionals in business and industry as well as in developing well-equipped and intellectual leaders in this profession. Later the degree programs in MBA for executives and MBA for practitioners were instituted.
On the other hand, the Graduate School of Education, which was established in 1963, primarily aimed to develop high scholarship and leadership in the field of teacher education.
With the influx of students from all over the country as well as foreign students from neighboring nations, the two Graduate Schools reached the peak of their popularity in the 1970s, thus, turning that decade into their “golden age.”
In 1982, the two graduate schools were merged into one with Dr. Milda Ang as its first dean. The merger led to a centralized Graduate School unit in the University under the leadership of succeeding Deans, namely, Dr. Isidro Cariño, Dr. Arturo Trinidad, Dr. Rosario Lamug, Dr. Teresita Pascual, Dr. Josefina R. Cortes, Dr. Rosario E. Maminta and Dr. Danilo M. Yanga.
The former Dean of the Graduate School is Dr. Rosario E. Maminta, a respected specialist in Applied Linguistics trained at the UCLA in United States and the University of British Columbia in Canada. A former Commissioner of the National Language Commission, she took over the Deanship from Dr. Josefina R. Cortes, who became UE President and who is an expert in development education with a Ph.D. from Stanford University. Dr. Cortes relinquished her position upon her appointment as Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and subsequently as President.
The present Dean, who assumed office last June 1, 2004, is Dr. Danilo M. Yanga. A former Dean of the College of Science at the University of the Philippines Diliman, he is a respected physicist and a holder of Ph.D. in Physics degree.
At present, the Graduate School offers degree programs in Business, Teacher Education, Public Administration, Library Science and Environmental Science.
