It was established in 1980 during the administration of Br. Andrew Gonzalez FSC as the College of Career Development, a night school for working students at De La Salle University-Manila.

In 1985, it was renamed as Community College and was then renamed as the De La Salle University-College of Saint Benilde in 1988, one year after the establishment of the De La Salle University System. In 1994, the college became autonomous, and in 2004, along with a restated vision and mission, the college was renamed to its present name, dropping the University from its name and became De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde.

Originally located at the Miguel Hall (formerly the Benilde Hall) of De La Salle University-Manila, the college was transferred to its own campus at 2544 Taft Avenue in 1989. At present, the college has two operating campuses, the Taft Campus and the Angelo King International Center Campus located at Arellano Avenue. The third and largest campus, the School of Design and Arts Campus at Pablo Ocampo St. is presently under construction and is expected to open in 2007.

The college uses learner-centered instruction and offers relevant and innovative degree and non-degree programs designed for the development of professionals in the arts, design, management, service industries, computer applications in business, and special fields in study. The college has also pioneered several degree offerings different from what regular universities and colleges in the Philippines had.

The college is the youngest member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association when it was accepted into the league in 1998, along with La Salle Green Hills representing the junior division.

Historical background

College of Career Development

In 1980, De La Salle University, under the administration of Br. Andrew Gonzalez FSC, opened an academic unit known as the College of Career Development, an evening school for working students. Presentacion Gabriel of the College of Liberal Arts served as its first dean, where her term lasted from 1980 to 1987. In 1984, the Preparatory Studies Department (PSD) was established in order to allow students to cope up with the study requirements in subsequent degree-oriented courses in regular undergraduate colleges.

In 1985, the college was renamed as the Community College and Dr. Carmelita Quebengco served as the dean for four years, from 1987 to 1991. The PSD was phased out and replaced by the Arts and Business Studies Area (ABSA) in May 1987. The ABSA offered two courses, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Management with emphasis on Human Resources Management, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, Major in Computer Applications.
