Arellano University (AU) is a private, coeducational, nonsectarian university located in Manila, the Philippines. It was founded in 1938 as a law school by Florentino Cayco Sr., the first Filipino Undersecretary of Public Instruction.[3] The university was named after Cayetano Arellano, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines.[4] It operates seven campuses located throughout Metro Manila and the main campus is located along Legarda Street, Sampaloc, Manila. The Arellano University School of Law is autonomous and managed by the Arellano Law Foundation. Its athletic team, the Arellano University Chiefs, is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association since 2009.

## History

[edit]

Cayetano Arellano, the first Chief Justice of the Philippine Supreme Court, after whom the university was named.

Arellano University began in 1938 by Florentino Cayco Sr.[5] It was established as a law school by Cayco, the first Filipino Undersecretary of Public Instruction and an educator. The school was named Arellano Law College, which is derived from Cayetano Arellano, the first Filipino Supreme Court Chief Justice.[6] The newly founded institution offers the regular four-year law course and was one of the well-known institutions at that time catering to numerous prolific people in the field of law and public service.

On the onset of World War II, the school was closed from 1941 to 1945. It was reopened in April 1945 and renamed as the Arellano Colleges. It has expanded course offerings in commerce, foreign service, and arts and sciences. In 1946, Florentino Cayco Sr. became the school's first president, and through his efforts, the institution was granted university status on February 22, 1947, by the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports and was accordingly renamed as Arellano University. AU continued its robust expansion with the offering of new courses, which resulted into the addition of new colleges.

In 1948, from its present site in Legarda at Sampaloc, AU moved to a new site in Plaza Guipit. It was relocated back to its old site in Legarda when a new modern four-storey concrete building was erected in 1955.[7] In 1954, AU opened an institute of nursing and a law school. The Arellano University School of Law would later be managed by the Arellano Law Foundation under a Memorandum of Agreement in 1978. Arellano Law Foundation is a non-stock and non-profit organization established by the alumni, faculty members, and employees of AU whose objective was to establish and operate a law school. The School of Law was successfully turned over to Arellano Law Foundation on April 22, 1979, but remained as one of the constituent colleges of the university.[7]

In 2015, AU entered into a partnership with Ayala Education to launch the LINC@Arellano, a junior college program that serves as an early implementation of the Philippines' K-12 program.[2][8] Later on, the university began to fully integrate the K-12 program with the offering of Senior High School (SHS) strands.
