The College of Computer Studies (CCS) is the academic unit of MSU-IIT responsible for the teaching, research, and extension related to computing and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in general. To this end, it offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs. These programs are carried through on campus or a combination of formal and non-formal delivery.

The creation of CCS was formed from various departments of colleges including Computer Science and Computer Applications from the College of Engineering, Information Technology from the College of Business Administration and Accountancy, and Electronics and Communications Technology from the School of Engineering Technology during that time. These departments were virtually removed from their mother units to form SCS, not without misgivings from them. But whatever was lost to the unit concerned was to be the Institute’s gain as we hoped to see the benefits to a more focused implementation of the ICT programs.
