About DCST

The Department of Computer Science and Technology (DCST) was established on March 2002. It originated as a Computer Science and Statistics Section of the now defunct Department of Agricultural Engineering and Applied Mathematics. With the conversion of the Visayas State College of Agriculture (ViSCA) into VSU, the section was developed into an academic department and is now one of the five departments under the College of Engineering. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program was approved by the VSU Board of Regents on February 8, 2002 under Resolution No. 17 series of 2002 and was formally offered by DCST in the first semester of SY 2002 - 2003.
