In 1998, the Statistical Center changed its name to School of Statistics in order to reflect its expanded character of a degree-granting institution.  At present, the School of Statistics offers one undergraduate program and three graduate programs.  These are B.S. (Statistics) program, the Master of Science (MOS) program, M.S. (Statistics) program and the Ph.D. (Statistics) program.  Through these programs, the School of Statistics has produced numerous distinguished statisticians in various profession and is widely recognized as the primary source of statistical expertise for the Philippine Statistical System and Industry.

History

The UP School of Statistics was established in 1953 as the Statistical Training Center, then later as the Statistical Center under a bilateral agreement between the Government of the Philippines and the United Nations. Its primary objective then was to work towards the improvement of statistical services in government. Ten years later, the Center was formally turned over to the University of the Philippines, and in 1964, the U.P. Board of Regents approved the Bachelor of Science (Statistics) program of the Center. The B.S. (Statistics) program was implemented beginning AY 1967-1968. [1]

In 1998, the Statistical Center changed its name to the School of Statistics in order to reflect its expanded character as a degree-granting institution. At present, the School of Statistics offers one undergraduate program and three graduate programs. These are B.S. (Statistics) program, the Master of Science (MOS) program, M.S. (Statistics) program, and the Ph.D. (Statistics) program. Through these programs, the School of Statistics has produced numerous distinguished statisticians in various professions and is widely recognized as the primary source of statistical expertise for the Philippine Statistical System and Industry.

U.P. Stat Library

The School maintains one of the best statistics libraries in the country, with new titles continuously being added to its already sizable collection. It subscribes to 25 titles of foreign statistical journals, including the online version of databases of journal compilations the University subscribes to.[10]

The U.P. School of Statistics Library is a college library which gives bibliographic and reference support to the school's program of academics in service training, research, and consultation. Its collection is limited to statistics and related fields like demography, economics, computer programming, social survey, etc. The library is located at the north wing of the new building of the School of Statistics (old CSWCD Building). It is open for service from 8:30 am to 12:00 nn. and 1:00 pm to 6:00pm on weekdays and from 8:00 am to 12:00 nn. during Saturdays. Library privileges are accorded to all faculty, alumni, and regular students of the University of the Philippines and to all government officials and employees subject to existing library rules and regulations.[11]

When the Statistical Center was established in December 1953 by virtue of an agreement concluded between the Philippine Government and the United Nations, one of the basic provisions of this Agreement was the maintenance and supervision of an adequate statistical library. Thus, the Statistical Center Library was Founded. From its initial collection of 500 books, which was largely a result of donations from the United Nations Technical Assistance Administration and from other agencies both local and abroad, the library has sought to strengthen and expand its collection through the years.

This challenging task was first entrusted to UP College Manila librarian, Perla Palacsil who was at the same time librarian-in-charge of the College of Public Administration and the UP Extension Division Davao library. She was also assisted by Mrs. Asuncion De Chavez, assistant-in-charge regarding the maintenance and servicing of the Statistical Center Library. Moreover, the UP College Manila staff, along with student assistants, serviced the UPCM library which was overcrowded and lacking in space. The STC Library, housed at Rizal Hall, shared its space with five other unit libraries -- UPCM library itself, Public Administration, Population Institute, Local Government Center and the Philippine Executive Academy.

Hence in 1979 the SCT Library collection was temporarily and jointly housed with the College of Business Administration collection at the 1st floor of the new CBA building in Diliman and at the Reserve-Circulation Section at the 5th floor. The combined resources of the Business and Statistical Center libraries were organized into a BS/STC collection and housed in the 1st floor of the Business library. The collection was designed to meet the curricular and research requirement of graduate and undergraduate students, faculty members, staff, and alumni of both colleges.[11]

The resources of the Library are divided into the following categories:[11]

Phase 1 will accommodate classrooms, library, computer laboratories, conference rooms, and faculty rooms.

Phase 2 will include additional classrooms, training rooms, discussion rooms (for graduate students and study groups), research support facilities, two 150-seater lecture halls, 400-seater auditorium, student area, and cafeteria.

At present, the Architectural and Engineering Design (AED) is being developed and is due in April 2012. Construction of Phase 1 will start within 2012 to be completed by 2013.

In the meantime, the School will temporarily hold classes and offices in another building starting second semester AY 2012-2013 to give way for the construction of the building in the same site along Magsaysay Avenue.
