The College of Tourism & Hospitality Management (CTHM) was established in 2010 under the presidency of Dr. Henry A. Sojor, marking the beginning of its commitment to world-class hospitality education. In its foundational years, the college achieved significant milestones, including Level II accreditation from the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) and recognition as a TESDA Assessment Center. In 2013, under Dr. Vicente Real's leadership, CTHM embarked on a strategic integration with the College of Business & Accountancy (CBA), strengthening its academic foundations and fostering a multidisciplinary approach to tourism and hospitality education.
