The '''College of Business''' ('''COB'''), also known as ''Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business'' and formerly ''De La Salle-Professional Schools, Inc. (DLS-PSI)'', is one of the eight [[undergraduate]] and [[graduate school|graduate]] schools of [[De La Salle University]] (DLSU). It was established in 1920 as the College of Commerce when the University began offering a two-year commercial course.  In 1931, the Bachelor of Science in Commerce degree was first conferred after a third year was added to the initial two-year program.
In 1957, the College underwent its formal first survey by the [[Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities]] (PAASCU).  Now known as the College of Business and Economics, it is home to two academic departments, which have been recognized by the [[Commission on Higher Education (Philippines)|Commission on Higher Education]] as Centers of Development, Business Management and Economics.
In A.Y. 2010-2011, the College of Business and Economics formally separated into two entities: The College of Business (COB) and the School of Economics (SOE). College of Business focuses on attracting students who aspire to become business professionals or professors of the faculty who would like to share their knowledge to help other aspiring students in their formation as business professionals.
Students of COB may opt to specialize in any of the following fields:
[[Accountancy]],
[[Management|Business Management or Applied Corporate Management]],
[[Legal management (academic discipline)|Legal Management]],
[[Financial Institution|Management of Financial Institutions]],
[[Marketing|Marketing Management]], and
[[Advertising|Advertising Management]].
The College also offers a double-degree (Liberal Arts-Commerce or LIA-COM) program in partnership with the [[De La Salle University College of Liberal Arts|College of Liberal Arts]], that combines a [[Bachelor of Arts]] major with that of Accountancy or Commerce, major in any other business program. Its administrative offices are located at the [[St. La Salle Hall]].
It is currently the largest College of the University in terms of students.  Many of its alumni have distinguished themselves, assuming top-level positions in the academe, business and industry, and government, such as [[José W. Diokno]], [[Alberto Romulo]], and Enrique Zobel.{{Citation needed|date=May 2011}}
