History

CIIT Philippines - College of Arts and Technology was established in 2007 as Cosmopoint International Institute of Technology by Niel Dagondon.[1] He is the founder and chief executive officer of Anino Games,[2] a pioneer third-party game developer in the Philippines, and the director of Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP).[3] Founded in 2007 in response to the outsourcing boom and the shortage of qualifiedFilipino IT and multimedia professionals,[4] Anino Games partnered with technological organizations to establish an ideal school that will meet the practical demands of the Philippine workforce.[5] CIIT stresses practical knowledge and applications as much as theories to students.

In 2008, CIIT introduced itself as a technical-vocational school offering two-year diploma courses and specialist programs to students in digital arts and IT. Its first diploma programs include Computer Graphic Design, Multimedia Application, Software Engineering, Network Design, and E-business. Three years later, 3D Animation and Game Development were added to its list of course offerings.

CIIT is a previous member of the Cosmopoint Education Group from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia[6][7] and a partner of Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University (KLMU). Through these tie-ups, students were given the option to proceed with their diploma courses, continue their studies in KLMU, and earn an International bachelor's degree in Malaysia.

Academic Programs

In 2013, however, the college has developed its own curriculum and acquired certification from the Commission on Higher Education to have its own bachelor's degree programs. These are Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia Arts with specializations in Digital Graphics Design, 3D Visualization, and Video and Motion Graphics; and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with specializations in Software Engineering, Game Development, and Network Design.

Along with the two bachelor's degrees, it also offers six diploma courses that are ladderized to the bachelor's degree courses, including Multimedia Arts, Computer Graphics, 3D Animation, Game Development, Information Technology, and Software Engineering. CIIT also offers double diploma programs in Digital Design and Computer Science, which give students the option to choose two diploma courses and complete them for a minimum of three years.

Besides diploma and degree programs, the school also offers specialist classes in multimedia, web design, 3D animation, and game development. In addition, CIIT offers corporate training to companies needing customized instruction regarding the use of the latest software applications.

In January 2014, its BA Multimedia Arts Program was accredited by the Commission on Higher Education. It allowed the students to apply for a bachelor's degree in Multimedia Arts or Computer Science. Yet the whole program is not yet fully approved.

As part of the implementation of K-12 education system, CIIT Philippines will also start to provide its Senior High School program to Grades 11 and 12. Under the program, the students can specialize in animation or programming.
