Philippine School of Business Administration

Philippine School of Business Administration (PSBA) was founded in October, 1963. It was originally launched as a review and training center for Certified Public Accountants. Operating under the name of "Philippine Accounting and Taxation Training Services, Inc." (PATTS), and occupying a rented building in C. M. Recto Ave. Manila, it opened its doors for the first time in January, 1964 with an unprecedented enrollment of 1,200 CPA reviewees. It at once became the biggest CPA review school in the Philippines. The enrollment steadily grew - 1,300 in the second year of operation and 2,000 in the third year. The confidence of students in the integrity and competence of the founders and the faculty of the School was strengthened by the result of the 1964 CPA examination which included the PATTS reviewees among the first ten highest of the successful candidates. Since the products of the review program have been leading, both quantitatively, the yearly list of successful CPA examinees.
In 1966, the third year of its operation, the school started to offer under-graduate programs in business administration with an enrollment of 1,518. It also changed its corporate name to Philippine School of Business Administration (PSBA). The enrollment continued to increase every year, and today the school is considered one of the country's leading schools of business.
