HISTORY OF IICS• In 1984, the College of Science introduced the BS

Mathematics major in Computer Science program.

• In 1999, the BS Mathematics major in Computer Science was converted to BS Computer Science. Similarly, the program BS Commerce major in Information System Management was converted to BS Information Management. Eventually, the Department of Information and Computer Studies was born and placed under the College of Science. Three programs namely, BS Computer Science, BS Information Management, BS information Technology where offered on that year.

HISTORY OF IICS• In 2003, the ICS Department transferred to the

Roque Ruaño Building but still under the administration of the College of Science.

• In 2004, the ICS Department was officially transferred under the administration of the Faculty of Engineering.

• In 2006, the BS Information Management program was discontinued and the BS Information Systems was born. During the same year, a new set of curricula for the BSCS, BSIT and BSIS programs were offered to freshmen students.

• In 2013, another new set of curricula containing various specialization tracks for the BSCS, BSIT and BSIS programs were offered to freshmen students.

HISTORY OF IICS• Still in 2013, the Department of Information and

Computer Studies was abolished and replaced by three new departments namely: Department of Computer Science, Department of Information Technology and Department of Information Systems.

• In 2014, the Institute of Information and Computing Sciences (IICS) was born and the Department of Computer Science, Department of Information Technology and Department of Information Systems were all placed under the administration of the Institute.

practice of honesty - the act of truth-telling, truth seeking, truth-doing.

You are dishonest if you commit the following: Forge, alter or misuse University documents,

records, credentials or effects Print, disseminate false information to or about

the university Cheat in examinations and other school works Plagiarize Theft or stealing of school or students’ properties Engage in other acts similar to the above

Code of Conduct and Discipline(PPS 1027 UST Student Handbook)


Honesty Honesty requires that one looks at all the

facts. Communication & Conduct are the two

keystones of honesty. Communication requires that one does not stay willingly blind. Candor, openness, and truthfulness lead to understanding.

Understanding leads to conduct that is becoming of an honest person.


Honesty Cheating, stealing, sneaky behavior,

deceitfulness are acts that demean one character.

An honest person will not keep silent when silence is intended to cause another person to believe something that is not true.

Courtesy an act of respect towards another a sign of maturity observance creates a climate of goodwill and
