St. Joseph’s College of Quezon City (SJCQC) is a Franciscan school founded in 1932 as the Saint Joseph’s Academy. It first admitted primary school students, and then secondary school students the following year in its campus along España extension road in Manila. The school had to close down during the Japanese occupation and the Second World War. The school was renamed to St. Joseph’s College in 1948 and opened in Quezon City. Consequently, the school opened its college department which offered programs in Education, Liberal Arts, Music, and Secretarial Science. Its graduate school program then opened in 1979 offering courses in Education and Staff Development.
The school is home to 5 different departments: Basic Education, Special Education, College of Arts and Sciences, Institute of Nursing, and the Graduate School. Program offerings for bachelor degree include Business Administration, Finance, Hotel and Restaurant Management, Education, Information Technology Social Work, Nursing, and Liberal Arts. Its graduate program specializes in Masters programs in Education, Early Childhood Development and Special Education, Applied Gerontology, and a Ph.D. in Education.
St. Joseph’s College of Arts and Sciences was granted full autonomy by the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) in 2001. Its basic education and special education programs are both accredited by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). SJCQC was acknowledged as one of the best schools in Social Work in the country in 2004. The college continues to live by its mission which is to provide relevant programs and services to form our students to be God-loving, evangelizing, and responsible members of society.
