History
Maritime Education was first offered in 1993 under the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology (CEAT) with 320 students enrolled.
The department flourished and as an offshoot was a separate college in 1995 known as the College of Maritime Education (COME). Mr. Wilson V. Calpo served as the first dean. With its impressive growth, the College was divided into two, Marine Transportation and Marine Engineering departments.
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) recognized the programs Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering (BSMARE) and Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation (BSMT) on April 8, 1996 and June 26, 1996, respectively.
In 1998, the college received a rating of substantial compliance from maritime education assessors per International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The quest for quality continues as visions and hopes will keep the College to meet challenges.
