This is an accordance with statutes of the medieval University of Salamanca and the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico which used "faculty" for their constituent colleges. The Faculty of Sacred Theology, Faculty of Philosophy, and the Faculty of Canon Law, which are housed in the Faculties of Ecclesiastical Studies, are considered to be the oldest faculties in the university. The Faculty of Civil Law, founded in 1734, is usually dubbed as the "oldest lay faculty", while the Faculty of Engineering, founded in 1907, is regarded as the "youngest faculty". The term faculty is only historical and does not signify dominance over the "newer" colleges. UST is the only university in the Philippines that uses faculty. "College" is used by independent degree-granting units that were founded since the American period in the 1920s until the present time. The College of Education, founded in 1926, is often called to be the "oldest college". A department under a certain college, which is being developed to become an independent entity, is usually given the title "Institute". In 1974, the Institute of Physical Therapy was founded and was supervised by the College of Science and the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. The Institute was granted a full autonomy in 1993 and was elevated to the college rank in 2001.〔7 fast facts about Fr. Lana's rectorship. The Varsitarian.
