The college formally operated in June 1988 with 13 faculty members and meager 380 students. It had its first commencement exercises in March 1990 for its associate courses and later in 1992 produced its first batch of Bachelor degree holders.

With increasing demand for graduate education, the Graduate School of Business was established in 1996, offering degree in Master of Business Administration and Master of Government Management. On March 9, 1998, the Commission on Higher Education granted full recognition under GR035 series of 1998 to SPCBA Graduate School of Business. From then on, SPCBA has emerged to be what it is known today – the Premiere Business School in the South.

—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“I saw the Arab map.
It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
