Silliman University
Silliman University (also referred to as Silliman or SU) is a private research university in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental, Philippines.〔("CHED Taps SU for Research Network" ). Visayan Daily Star. Retrieved 2012-06-05.〕 Established in 1901 as ''Silliman Institute'' by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, it is the first American university in the Philippines and the entire Asian continent.〔 The university is named after Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, a retired businessman and philanthropist from Cohoes, New York who gave the initial sum of $10,000 to start the school. Starting as an elementary school for boys, the school expanded to become a college in 1910, acquiring university status in 1938. For the first half of the 20th century, Silliman was run and operated by Americans. After the Second World War Filipinos began to assume more important positions, culminating in the appointment of Silliman's first Filipino president in 1952.
In terms of accreditation, Silliman is one of only five universities in the Philippines with "Institutional Accreditation" by the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP). Institutional Accreditation is the highest certification that can be granted to an educational institution after an over-all examination of its number of accredited programs, the quality of its facilities, services and faculty.〔("Silliman University granted institutional accreditation" ). Philippine Daily Inquirer. Retrieved 2010-12-19.〕〔("FAAP grants Institutional accreditation to Silliman University " ). Philippine Information Agency. Retrieved 2010-12-19.〕 Incidentally, Silliman also has the highest number of accredited programs in the country twenty of which are on Level IV accreditation status, the highest level that can be granted to individual programs.〔("14 Academic Programs Granted Highest Accreditation Status." ). Silliman University. Retrieved 2012-04-22.〕〔("Accredited Programs." ) Silliman University. Retrieved 2015-04-21.〕
Today, the university comprises ten colleges, five schools, and three institutes, enrolling over 9,600 students from the Philippines and from at least 30 foreign countries.〔 It is registered as a National Landmark by the National Historical Institute and is one of few private higher education institutions in the Philippines that have been granted full autonomous status by the Commission on Higher Education.〔("NHI Resolution No.7, Series 2002" ).
