History

Dr. Pablo R. Olivarez and his wife, the late Dr. Rosario de Leon-Olivarez, pioneered in the development of the community when they put up Olivarez General Hospital in 1975. Being medical practitioners, they established the Olivarez School of Nursing on April 30, 1976.

In 1978, Olivarez School of Nursing was changed to Olivarez Junior College: instituting the College of Liberal Arts (now College of Arts and Sciences), College of Commerce (now College of Business Administration), and Health Related Courses (now College of Health Related Sciences).

In 1980, the school became Olivarez College and began offering Graduate School programs in 1992. In 1993 Liberal Arts, Commerce and Nursing programs were granted Level II accreditation status by the PACUCOA. Likewise, the Basic Education Department was awarded PAASCU level I status in February 2002 and level II accreditation status on May 14, 2004.

In 2003, the Board of Trustees decided to start a campus in Tagaytay City offering the courses BS Nursing, BS Business Administration major in Marketing Management, Bachelor in Elementary Education major in Early Childhood, BS Hotel and Restaurant Management, BS Information Technology, BS Accountancy, Short Courses like Associate in Computer Technology, Associate in Health Science Education and Caregiver.

At present, the school administrators are working toward making Olivarez College achieve university status. This is the vision of the founder and president of the school, Pablo R. Olivarez.
