College of Information & Communications Technology

The College of Information and Communications Technology traces back its rich heritage from the College of Industrial Technology of the then Bulacan College of Arts and Trade.

Started as the Computer Department of the College of Industrial Technology in 1989, the department was in-charge of the two-year Computer Technician Course with Mr. Alexander S. dela Paz and Mr. Fausto S. Hilario as pioneer computer instructors with the latter as Area Chairman. Using two computer laboratory rooms in the first floor of Integrated Building and with less than 15 computers per laboratory, the course was focused on computer software and hardware familiarization.

During the succeeding years, additional sections for the Computer Technician course was created in order to cater to the growing demand on computer-related graduates. With the increase in section, additional computer instructors were hired as well as additional computer units.

With this development, the CIT Computer Department was converted to BCAT’s Computer Center.

With the conversion of BCAT to Bulacan State University in the year 1996 and the desire to spread computer literacy in University, President Rosario P. Pimentel envisioned of further widening the scope of the Computer Center.

And in 1999 the vision became a reality with the approval of the University Board of Regents and the ardent campaign of Mr. Hilario; the BCAT Computer Center was converted to the Institute of Computer Education with Mr. Fausto S. Hilario as Dean.
