History

STI was organized in 1983, when entrepreneurs Augusto C. Lagman, Herman T. Gamboa, Benjamin A. Santos and Edgar H. Sarte set up the Systems Technology Institute to train people in programming and IT. At first there were two schools, and now there are more than 100.

Programs include: information and communications technology, engineering, health care, business & management, hospitality and tourism management.

But started last 2006, the acronym of STI is no longer the meaning as Systems Technology Institute because it is not only the school of Technology and Sciences but with Health, Arts, Managements, Businesses, Hospitality and Culinary school. It is only STI College without meaning but the school for learning students. But still in this present, IT and CS courses is the largest population in this school.
