Renaming College of Business Administration to College of Business, Governance, and Accountancy

Notre Dame of Marbel University officially renames its College of Business Administration (CBA) to the College of Business, Governance, and Accountancy (CBGA) in response to its expanding academic scope and the recent addition of the Bachelor in Public Administration (BPA) program.

This renaming marks a strategic shift as the College embraces broader and more interdisciplinary program offerings that reflect the dynamic needs of both the private and public sectors. The change also affirms NDMU's mission to develop graduates who are not only competent professionals but also socially responsible and service-oriented leaders.

The CBGA now houses programs in business, governance, and accountancy, including:

• Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA)

  • Majors in Financial Management, Marketing Management, Marketing Management (Weekend Class), and Human Resource Development Management

• Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM)

• Bachelor of Science in Management Accounting (BSMA)

• Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA)

• Bachelor in Public Administration (BPA)

  
  

The introduction of the Bachelor in Public Administration program reflects NDMU’s recognition of the growing need for professionals who are equipped to lead in government service, non-profit organizations, and public-sector institutions. The BPA program emphasizes leadership, policy-making, governance, and ethics, core competencies essential in public service today.

According to College Dean Dr. Michelle F. Capistrano, CPA, this transformation allows the college to more accurately reflect its diverse academic disciplines and enhance its visibility, relevance, and responsiveness to both local and global demands.

With the establishment of the College of Business, Governance, and Accountancy, NDMU continues its commitment to producing globally competitive graduates who are capable of leading change across sectors and communities.
