Quick Facts Type, Established ...

The College traces its origins to the year 1909 when the then Silliman Institute offered its first classical two-year A.B. course. In 1921, the College obtained recognition for its offering of a four-year A.B. degree. At about the same time, a science course was also offered, a B.S. degree major in Chemistry.[2]

From its early years of existence until the Second World War, the College operated as two independent entities: the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Sciences. Both were then administered by Silliman's Department of Instruction. These two colleges functioned independently of each other, housing departments such as Bible (1902), Biology (1909), Chemistry (1909), Mathematics (1920), English (1923), and Spanish (1936). In 1947, the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Sciences merged to form the present-day College of Arts and Sciences..[2]
