The University of Santo Tomas College of Science, popularly known as "UST Science", is the Pure Sciences school of the University of Santo Tomas, the oldest and the largest Catholic university in Manila, Philippines.
It offers six Bachelor of Science degree programs, three of which are recognized by the Commission on Higher Education as a Center of Excellence in Chemistry, Biology (as of July 2, 2010), and Psychology. It also offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology, the only undergraduate microbiology program in the Philippines. It is the first in the university to have been accredited Level IV by the Philippine Association of Colleges & Universities Committee on Accreditation (PACUCOA). The College is located at the third floor of the UST Main Building.
The College of Science of the University of Santo Tomas was established in 1926 as the College of Liberal Arts. It then offered four-year programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.). It also has a two-year program for Associate in Arts which served as preparatory courses for the Law and Medical schools.
The offerings of the College became diversified, in response to the advancements made in the field of science. Thus, specialized degree programs in the various fields of science were developed and introduced through the years: B.S. Chemistry (1931), B.S. major in Zoology (1947), B.S. major in Psychology (1948), and B.S. Mathematics and Physics (1952). In 1959, the preparatory course for the Medical School was extended to three years, in compliance with the requirements of the Medical Act.
