HISTORY

GK College was founded by Pres. Roselle P. Reig in 2018 after almost 2 decades in training and certification operations by its parent company, GlobalKnowledge Ph, Inc. The business was focused on short-courses in IT training and certifications particularly specializing in IT security in 2003 to present. It has trained and certified thousands of Filipinos making them globally-competitive in the field of Information Technology. In November 2015, GlobalKnowledge expanded its offering to 2-Year program in ITSP (IT Security Practitioner) targeting students and professionals who want to specialize in Cybersecurity. Aside from ITSP, 2-Year Fine Arts, 2-Year Multimedia Arts, 2-Year Fashion Design were also offered.

With the success of the 2-Year Programs, GlobalKnowledge applied for CHED Recognition to also offer Bachelor Programs in BSIS, BMA, and BFA. Thus, in May 30, 2018, GK College was established. Only 28 students enrolled in all programs for the first trimester.

GK College, established in 2018 extended its services thru a 3-Year Bachelor of Science in Information Systems with Specialization in Cybersecurity, first and only in the Philippines.
