  • The Central Philippine University (also referred to as Central or CPU) is a private research university in Iloilo City, Philippines. Established in 1905 through a benevolent grant of the American industrialist and philanthropist, John D. Rockefeller, as the Jaro Industrial School and Bible School under the auspices of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, it is the first Baptist founded and second American and Protestant university in the Philippines and in Asia (after its sister institution Silliman University (1901) in Dumaguete). In 1913, women were first admitted to the school and it was later converted into a junior college in 1923 as Central Philippine School and as Central Philippine College in 1924. In 1953, the college attained university status. It is affiliated with the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches. Central's founding however is predated four years earlier in 1901, when CPU–Iloilo Mission Hospital, the university's hospital, was established by the Presbyterian American missionary doctor, Joseph Andrew Hall, as "the first and oldest American and Protestant founded hospital in the Philippines". Central pioneered nursing education in the Philippines through the establishment of Union Mission Hospital Training School for Nurses in 1906 which later became Central Philippine University College of Nursing, the first nursing school in the country. It is also the first institution in Southeast Asia to establish a student council, the CPU Republic, the first to pioneer the work-study program in the country, and the first to established an agricultural school outside of Luzon, the CPU College of Agriculture, Resources and Environmental Sciences. CPU is organized into eighteen schools and colleges that provides instruction in basic education all the way up to the post-graduate levels. In the tertiary education, the undergraduate level consists of the colleges of Agriculture, Resources and Environmental Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Business and Accountancy, Computer Studies, Education, Engineering, Hospitality Management; Medical Laboratory Science, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Theology. In the graduate level it comprises the schools and colleges of Law, Medicine, and Graduate Studies. Central is one of the few Philippine higher education institutions to be ranked as best and top universities for Asia and the world by Quacquarelli Symonds, one of the big three international university ranking agencies along with Times Higher Education and Academic Ranking of World Universities. It is the first among other universities in the Western Visayas region to do so. The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has granted the university a full autonomous status. It is also the same government agency that awarded CPU as National Centers of Excellence in Business Administration and Agriculture and National Centers of Development in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering and Teacher Education. It has also been certified as one of the few ISO certified educational institutions in the Philippines by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Central's main campus on the other hand, is a registered National Landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines and a Philippine Registered Cultural Property by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. Through its linkages with Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese universities, CPU also maintains overseas academic programs at those universities. It is the only university in Vietnam that offers undergraduate and post-graduate business courses jointly with Thai Nguyen University (TNU) and Thai Nguyen University of Economics and Business Administration (TUEBA). Central alumni, faculty and affiliates have been recognized in a wide range of fields. These include numerous prominent politicians, National Artists of the Philippines, Fulbright Scholars and Professors, Scientists and inventors, Ramon Magsaysay Award (Asian Nobel Prize) and other prestigious awards laureates, Senators and Lower House Legislators, Presidential Cabinet Members, Associate and Chief Justices of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals of the Philippines, foreign diplomats, military servicemen, Philippine provincial governors and cities mayors, novelists and writers, journalists, film directors and actors, Singers, and business tycoons.
