A New Technology

FEU takes pride in its continuous pursuit of academic excellence, which is why it regularly reviews its major tertiary programs. After a thorough evaluation of the Technology Program, the administration decided to
phase it out and replace it with a new computer technology program developed in collaboration with East Asia Computer Center, Inc. which began offering degrees in Computer Science in 1992. In July 1991,
SM Foundation and IBM Philippines established the Asia Pacific Computer Technology Center (APCTC). Six months later, APCTC partnered with Far Eastern University (FEU) and Intelligent Wave, Inc. (IWI)
to create a computer school, later named East Asia Computer Center, which was eventually renamed East Asia Institute of Computer Technology (EAICT). Initially, the only degree offered was the
Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Science (BSCIS). In 1994, EAICT began offering the Bachelor of Science brin Computer Engineering (BSCOE).

On September 30, 1998, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) officially recognized the renaming of East Asia Institute of Computer Technology (EAICT) to East Asia College of Information Technology (EACIT).

On February 24, 2000, CHED designated EACIT as a Center of Development for Excellence (CODE) in Information Technology Education in the National Capital Region.

In 2001, EACIT sought the approval of CHED to offer additional courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and Bachelor of Science in Information Management.
Both courses gained full recognition in April 2004.

In 2002, FEU obtained the majority shares of EACIT, gaining complete control of the college.

In 2003, the FEU Administration made a significant move by merging the College of Engineering with East Asia College of Information Technology. The integration of resources and efforts from both colleges led to the
creation of FEU – East Asia College (FEU–EAC), accompanied by a revised vision and mission.
