Bakit Faculty ang name ng ibang Colleges sa UST?

[kurashige]

Faculty of Medicine and Surgery (for college of medicine)
Faculty of Pharmacy (for college of pharmacy)
Faculty of Engineering (for college of eng'g)
Faculty of Arts and Letters (for college of AB's)
Faculty of Civil Law (for college of law)
Faculty of Sacred Theology (for sacred studies)
Faculty of Canon Law (same as the above)
Faculty of Philosophy (for college of philosophy)
Faculty of Ecclesiastical Sutidies (for higher religious studies)

Why? Bakit ang CAFA, Science, Educ., Commerce, Nursing eh College lang ang tawag? Why Insitute of Physical and Occupational Theraphy?

bakit ganon ang tawag?

I think there is a parallelism in the nomenclature of different colleges between UST and Harvard University...it has something to do with the fact that these Universities are the oldest in their respective region. I think, these schools are two of the few prestigious schools who've named some of their colleges as Faculties.

What are your insights about this?

as kurashige have said, some colleges in ust are named as faculties because it is something to do with being the oldest or pioneer-college in the country.

look, there are no other schools in the country who named some of their college as faculties. the title faculty is given to a college of the oldest university in some counties signifying that, that college has been existing for over a century and has contributed to the growth and development of the school and the country as well.

so, we, thomasians, must be proud that ust is the only school who have faculties, but let us not forget the other colleges in ust that are also the best in their respective fields in the country just like the CAFA, Science, Nursing and other colleges in ust which are named naman as Center of Excellence.

Viva Facultas Medicine et Chiriuage!!!
Viva Facultad y Farmacia!!!

[Braxis]

These colleges are termed faculties NOT because they are a part of the oldest existing educational institution in the country. When you don't know a word, in this case faculty, there is such a thing as a dictionary, right? Faculty means a branch of learning or teaching. Gets?

By the way, it's HAS instead of IS. Go figure.

elijah-

I've seen this only today http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif
You have good points but I'll still try to explore to confirm your statements.

[WICKEDQUEEN]

Yes, I think they named it faculty to tell that it's a branch. Smaller than a department and an institution (as it is obvious). Now don't go bragging if I'll tell you this fact: Oxford University (Wellington Square, Oxford, UK)also has those designations. Faculty of Law, Faculty of English Language and Literature, Faculty of Modern History, Faculty of Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages and Literatures...etc.

To narrow down the branch, they named it Sub-Faculty. Sub-Faculty of French, Sub-Faculty of Russian and other Slavonic Languages, Sub-Faculty of Medieval and Modern Greek,...etc.

Somewhat true. Newei, Rach will provide us the whole detail about this. Go Rach!

Braxis and Wickedqueen -

Just a reminder: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. For your information, the dictionary is NOT the best place to find the meaning of a word, especially if it has a specifically historical and academic nuance. Meaning is correlative with context, gets nyo? I suggest you read a little of history to balance your haughtiness.

In the case of the word FACULTY as used in UST, it does not refer solely to "a branch of knowledge". Kurashige and Elijah ARE CORRECT in citing the historical context of the word.

UST, being the oldest university in Asia, was patterned after the 17th-century universities of Europe. In those universities, academic courses were called "disciplines" derived from the rigid and often assiduous demands exacted from a student. These disciplines were also called "faculties", referring to the Latin "facultas" or Spanish "facultad" referring to the intellectual or rational abilities of man which are perfected when exercised in the habit of studying. Established according to the mold of medieval universities like the University of Paris, Oxford, Salamanca,etc., UST's first academic offerings were also called "disciplines" or "faculties". They retained this nomenclature until the modern period. The first faculties of UST are the Ecclesiastical Faculties, the collective term for the Faculty of Philosophy, Faculty of Theology, and Faculty of Canon Law. Later, the Faculty of Civil Law was added. And later, the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery.

The other colleges which were established in the beginning of the 20th century and onwards, still retain the title "college" until now, according to modern government requirements. Ever since the department of education was established by the government, UST has to abide by the requirements of the department for colleges, institutes, and the like. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/smokin.gif

Elijah and Kurashige -

I hope this little research work meets your requirements. Thanks for the confidence. :) Where are you Elijah?

very nicely said fellow Thomasian.....

VIVA SANTO TOMAS!

[WICKEDQUEEN]

Well Rach, that was a good presentation of researches on your part. Thanks for the information you provided, the suggestion as well but - I'm sorry I couldn't see any haughtiness in my previous post. If in any way I did sound like it, well I didn't mean to be haughty..if that's how you term it. By the way, thanks for putting the words nicely. I don't intend to spark any hostility of some sort.

[Rach]

Wickedqueen-

Peace. :)

[passky]

I do not like to steal the limelight from Rach, our goddess of explanation, but I also like to give this information for the benefit of all loyal Thomasians. I have read in the UST brochure that the LATIN name of UST is "Pontificia et Regalis Universitas Sancti Thomae". It is also known in Spanish as "La Universidad Catolica de Filipinas."

[newel]

hindi ako maka-react...very informative ang thread na ito. at least alam ko na kung bakit may faculty sa UST at yung iba college.

[DaNa8]

Wow, very informative. D ko lam yun ah. Chaka peace to WICKEDQUEEN, for handling the situation very nicely.

[newel]

nahati na pala ang CAFA ngayon!

1. College of Architecture
2. College of Fine Arts & Design

[kurashige]

indeed, Rach is the goddess of explanations...

...how i wish our gods are here...where is braveheart? elijah? Sinned? clawed_out? et. al.? our school warriors are nowhere, but i can still feel their huge presence.

newel

its kinda sad that the best and the most famous College of Architecture and Fine Arts or CAFA has been divided into two separate and different College...but still, its legacy will still remain in the history of UST and the Country. its remembrance on how it has changed the 'face' of the country, will always remain in the memory of everyone.

Benilde has adopted the name of CAFA - meron na sila ngayong CAFA as in CAFA.

[newel]

kurashige: ako rin parang hindi masaya sa pagkahati sa CAFA. at lalong nalungkot ako nang ginaya ng iba ang UST CAFA. eniwey, masaya rin naman ako dahil binago na. sana wag gayahin. :lol:

talaga ha? CAFA as in CAFA ? :lol:

[jalapeno]

hello mga ka-USTe. (bago lang ako dito - welcome ba?) kaya pala tawag sa pharma "faculty". tagal-tagal ko na ngang pinagiisipan yun (hehe). anyways, sa mga nag-aaral sa faculty of medicine & surgery, totoo bang requirement ang magkaroon ng 2.0 na average bago ka nila tatanggapin? salamat sa oras!

[newel]

jalapeno:

mag-inquire ka na lang sa faculty of medicine & surgery! mag-med ka ha!

[newel]

hinati na rin sa 2 ang UST PT!

1. Institute of Physical Therapy
2. Institute of Occupational Therapy

yup...as in gayang gaya! grabe nga eh - di man lang nila naisip na mai-co-compare sila satin...mahirap tanggalin sa isip ng nakararami ang kagalingan ng UST-CAFA.

oo nga pala, ang IPT eh hinati na din...wala pa nga lang pangalan yung bagong college na yon.

[newel]

kurashige: sana ginawa nilang CFAA man lang :lol:

teka, isa lang pala ang naiiba sa UST yung Conservatory of Music. mas class di ba?

[newel]

kurashige,

yung sinabi kong 2 Institute sa IPT, yun na ang official names!

[newel]

ang daming bagong dean sa UST ngayon a...

[Mirage]

ah Rach, si Father Villaroel yata '*** tinutukoy mo...

and one more thing... ang Physical Therapy--- college na...

newel-USTEdyante ka pa ba?

[newel]

Mirage,

yes po! :)

[newel]

y did u ask? :)
