It offered Bachelor of Science in Secretarial Administration with Dr. Gregorio Delgado as its first dean. In June 13, 1979, it was established as the School of Secretarial and Business Administration.

In june 1988, the Commission on Higher Education approved the curriculum leading to a Bachelor’s degree in Accountancy, Management, Finance, Economics and Marketing. The school became a member of prestigious business groups like the Philippine Association of Collegiate Schools of Business (1989) and the Bishop Businessmen’s Conference for Human Development that serves as a training ground for students.
The succeeding school years witnessed the growth of the school not only in courses offered, but in the number of students as well. In 1994, the school produced its first batch of Certified Public Accountants (CPA's). And in 1997, it reached a passing percentage of 42.85% in the Customs Broker’s Licensure Examination with one of its graduates, Laurel Dominic Pedrialva, placing fourth over-all in the national level.
