The College offers two baccalaureate courses namely: A Ladderized Program for the Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management and Bachelor of Science in Travel Management. IN 2007, to keep abreast of the changing developments in the field of hospitality, the College changed its name to College of Hospitality Management.
BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management was first offered in 1995 and was housed in one of the Nursing buildings at the Main Campus along McArthur Highway in Valenzuela City. In 1998, in response to the call of globalization and better equip its students, the College sent its senior students abroad for their practicum --- thus joining the International Practicum Training Program. The following year, in December of 1999, CHED granted the College its recognition.
The clamor to provide quality training for its students paved the way to try other forms and venue. On-board training became a means to meet the required practicum hours for the senior HRM students. Thus, the 1st On-Board training was held in 2002, aboard Superferry. In 2005, the College applied for PACUCOA accreditation and in 2007, the College was granted Candidate Status by the PACUCOA.
BS in Travel Management is a newly opened course under the College of Hospitality Management and was offered in 2007-2008, with an initial population of approximately 85 students. OLFU is the only University in Valenzuela to offer the course. The College opened the Course in response to the growing tourism industry in the Philippines and other countries.
The College, with its increasing student body, was moved from the Nursing Bldg to Dr. VM Santos Bldg in 1996. In May of 2007, the College found its home in the newly constructed San Lorenzo Bldg, a 5-floor building at Serrano Street, Marulas, Valenzuela. The new facility showcases cutting edge kitchen equipments, appliances and hotel amenities; and spacious and well-ventilated rooms. In 2011, CHIM revealed it's new Kitchen Auditorium to better demonstrate and teach new culinary techniques.
