The University of the East Caloocan Campus (''or Pamantasan ng Silangan'' and commonly abbreviated as ''UE Caloocan'') is a private university in Caloocan City, Philippines. The university is one of the three campuses of the University of the East. It is an autonomous unit headed by a Chancellor, with the College of Business Administration, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Fine Arts. UE Caloocan is called Caloocan Campus to distinguish it from the Manila Campus on C.M. Recto Avenue. ==History== In June 1954, a new campus was opened on a 4.86 hectare lot along Samson Road, Caloocan, then it was known as UE Tech. With the Technical School as a junior college offering liberal arts courses and training technical subjects, and a complete secondary course with both academic and vocational curricula, this brought the university into compliance with the 2-2 Plan of the Department of Education. School year 1957 – 1958 marked the offering of general courses leading to the Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Business Administration degrees and a one-year Secretarial course leading to a Certificate in Secretarial Science. The next six years saw the construction of the High School Building, the Gymnasium, the Applied Industrial Training Building, the Home Economics Building, the block-long Shop Buildings, the Cement Products Shop and the Woodworking and Construction Building. By school year 1960 – 1961, first and second year Liberal Arts, first and second year Commerce and Pre-law courses were offered. By August 1964, the UETS started phasing out its technical offerings. The elementary school and the High School as well as Secretarial courses were also phased out but in their place, Engineering courses and a complete Business Administration program were offered starting in 1977. Thus, began the campus shift from being a vocational-technical school to becoming an academic extension of UE Manila. In 1976, when extension programs began to be offered, the Caloocan Campus adopted the name University of the East Caloocan. The School of Fine Arts was relocated to the Caloocan Campus before the opening of the 1981 – 1982 school year. The SFA, established on July 15, 1964 and incorporated in October of that year, started as a unit of the UE Manila School of Music and Arts under the UE Research Center for Sciences, Humanities and Culture. The other units were the School of Music and the Ballet School. The school used to be in what was then the College of Dentistry building on Aurora Boulevard across from the UE Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center. In 1977, the late Dean Oscar Limlingan of the College of Engineering was appointed officer-in-charge of UE Caloocan. Later, he became assistant vice president, then vice president and the first chancellor of UE Caloocan. At present, the 4.86 hectare UE Caloocan has the Colleges of Arts and Sciences (CAS), Business Administration (CBA), Fine Arts (CFA) and Engineering (CoE). All four have counterpart colleges at UE's Manila campus, except for the College of Fine Arts. The UE Caloocan grounds have been used for ROTC and CAT instruction since 1986. UE Caloocan recently enhanced its own infrastructure and that of Caloocan City with the Tan Yan Kee Academic Building, which was opened in the second semester of the 2003 – 2004 school year and was inaugurated in December 2003. In February 2004, UE Caloocan was honored by the City Government of Caloocan as "One of the Outstanding Institutions of Caloocan City" in the field of education. The award was given to UE Caloocan "for its invaluable contribution in the field of education towards the realization of our vision of a truly reformed City of Caloocan, revitalizing the historic legacy of our City." The Caloocan Campus marked its 50th year with UE Caloocan Week. Timed to coincide with Caloocan Day, the UE Caloocan Week projected its role as an educational institution serving the youth in the CAMANAVA and neighboring areas.〔 〕 Seven programs of UE Caloocan in the Colleges of Engineering, Arts and Sciences, and Business Administration were given Level I accredited status in 2008 under the Philippine Association of Accredited Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). UE Caloocan is also the alma mater of the socio-environmentalist production group DX Crew, led by renowned grandmaster King Abalos, who aims to push forward campaigns of social and environmental change. They are also filmmakers and are the founders of SOS Films, a studio production for films with groundbreaking themes. Abalos' film ''Kabanata'' is currently in pre-production, and most of the planned location for the shoot is inside the campus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of the East Caloocan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
