College of Business and Accountancy

The programs under the College of Business and Accountancy (CBA) aim to equip students with, initially, a solid general foundation in business administration, and progressing thereafter to a mastery of concepts, tools and skills needed for advanced management and financial science. CBA reinforces these with practical exposure in the real business world through its practicum program and industry linkages.

Today, students of the College of Business and Accountancy reap the full benefits from OLFU’s world-class learning platforms and resources which are paired with state-of-the-art facilities and laboratories—all delivered by a competent teaching faculty through a masterful mix of learning modalities: online, distance or, when health conditions permit, face-to-face learning.

It is also noteworthy that OLFU is one among a few select schools to be granted the Certificate of Authority by the CHEd, allowing it to conduct limited face-to-face classes in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic;  a testament to the University’s established and effective community safety protocols.
