Far Eastern University (Filipino: Pamantasan ng Malayong Silanganan), also known as FEU, is a private university in Manila, Philippines. It's a non-religious school that focuses on research. FEU was created in 1934 when Far Eastern College and the Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance joined together. Its first president was Nicanor Reyes Sr..

FEU started as the first school for accountancy in the Philippines. Over the years, it has grown to offer many different courses. These include arts, sciences, architecture, fine arts, education, engineering, computer studies, tourism, hotel management, law, nursing, and medicine. FEU has seven campuses in Metro Manila, Cavite, and Rizal. It offers programs from elementary school all the way to graduate studies.

The main FEU campus in Manila has several special institutes for different programs. Its accountancy program, along with other college programs, has received the highest Level IV accreditation. This means it meets very high standards. The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) also recognizes FEU as a top school for Business Administration and Teacher Education.

FEU's campus is famous for its beautiful Art Deco buildings. These buildings were built in the early 1900s and are still well-preserved. FEU is ranked among the top universities in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

History of FEU

How it Started

Far Eastern University was founded in November 1933. It was formed by combining two schools: Far Eastern College and the Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance (IABF). Far Eastern College began in 1919 and focused on liberal arts. The IABF was started in 1928 by Francisco Dalupan Sr. and Nicanor Reyes Sr., who was a professor at the University of the Philippines.

FEU started with only 117 students. Before World War II, it grew to 11,000 students! The university showed that a private school could be successful in the Philippines. FEU is the 6th oldest university in the Philippines and the 4th oldest private, non-religious university.

In the early 1930s, FEU was in an old tobacco factory. Later, a new, bigger campus was built. This new campus was designed by Architect Pablo Antonio Sr., a famous artist in architecture.

In 1934, FEU created its first four main departments: Accounts, Business and Finance, Arts and Sciences, Law, and Education. Two years later, the Institute of Technology was also added.

Dr. Reyes Sr., the first president, worked hard to set up the courses and programs. He asked Architect Pablo S. Antonio Sr. to design the main buildings. In 1940, the Nicanor B. Reyes Sr. Hall opened. It housed the main library and the business department. Two other buildings for high school students were also built. By then, FEU had about 10,000 students, including 400 from other countries. Former Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon even called FEU "the best non-religious institution in the country."

In 1941, FEU also had the first ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) units for quartermasters and finance in the Philippines. During World War II, many FEU cadets fought bravely in Bataan.

During World War II

In 1942, the university closed because of the war. The Japanese Army used the campus for transportation and as a prisoner-of-war office.

During the Battle of Manila in 1945, Dr. Reyes Sr. was killed. After the war, the university reopened in June 1945. Hermenegildo B. Reyes became the second president.

After the War

FEU reopened in October 1945, even though American forces still used some of its buildings until May 1946. After the war, FEU grew a lot. It added many new facilities to meet the needs of more students. In the early 1950s, FEU was even called the "Largest University in Asia" with nearly 50,000 students!

FEU continued to expand. It opened the Science Building and started the Institute of Medicine and the School of Nursing. In 1955, the FEU Hospital opened. In 1970, the Institute of Architecture and Fine Arts was established. Also in 1970, the medical and nursing parts of FEU became a non-profit foundation called the Far Eastern University – Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation.

In 1989, Nicanor Reyes Jr. started a big project to improve FEU. Buildings were renovated, and the quality of education was raised. This led to many programs getting special accreditation. The university also improved its auditorium for performances and started publishing scholarly journals.

In 1996, FEU decided to focus on computer technology. It phased out its engineering programs and partnered with East Asia Computer Center, Inc. Later, in 2003, FEU bought out its partner and created the FEU East Asia College (FEU-EAC).

In 2010, FEU opened the Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management and a new campus in Makati. The Makati campus offered programs in Accountancy, Information Technology, and Business Administration. FEU also opened campuses in Silang, Cavite, and Filinvest City in Alabang. It also acquired Roosevelt College, Inc. in Rizal.

In 2022, the new Institute of Health Sciences and Nursing (IHSN) was created. It combined the existing Nursing program with Medical Technology and other health programs.

In 2024, FEU brought back its Chemistry and Economics programs. It also launched three new programs: Human Resource and Organizational Development, Pharmacy, and Nutrition and Dietetics.

FEU as a Company

Far Eastern University, Incorporated (FEU) is a private educational institution. It was officially registered as a company in October 1933. In 1986, it became a listed company on the Philippine Stock Exchange.

The company manages education, real estate, and investments. It has locations in Manila, Makati, and Cavite.

FEU has several important schools under its group. These include Far Eastern College – Silang, Inc. (FECSI), East Asia Computer Center, Inc. (EACCI), FEU Alabang, Inc., and FEU High School, Inc. In 2016, FEU also acquired a large part of Roosevelt College, Inc.

In 2019, FEU partnered with the Technological Institute of the Philippines to open Edustria, a senior high school in Batangas.

In 2022, FEU made two more partnerships. One was to set up a nursing school in Brunei. The other was with Good Samaritan Colleges in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija.

University Emblems

The University Seal

The FEU Coat of Arms shows a Sarimanok holding a kalasag (a shield). Inside the kalasag is an 8-pointed star with a bamboo scroll. On the scroll are the old Filipino letters “KKK”. The university seal has this Coat of Arms inside a green oval with a gold outline. Around it is the university's name in a special font and the founding year of IABF.

• The logo and font were designed by Galo Ocampo, who is known as the Father of Philippine Heraldry.
• FEU was one of the first universities in the Philippines started by a Filipino. In 1961, the university chose the Sarimanok design to show its nationalistic spirit.
• The "KKK" stands for Katotohanan (Truth), Kagandahan (Beauty), and Kabutihan (Goodness).

The University Colors

Green and Gold are FEU's official colors. Green stands for hope, like Rizal's idea of the youth as the "Fair hope of the Fatherland." Gold represents the great chance for the university to help young people and for its graduates to serve the country.

The University Mascot

The tamaraw is FEU's athletic mascot and the nickname for every FEU student. This animal, scientifically called “Bubalus mindorensis,” is found only on the island of Mindoro. The tamaraw is known for being intelligent, strong, and brave. This symbolizes how the university is advanced and progressive in education.

The University Mace

The mace is a special symbol of the University. It is used in formal events like graduation ceremonies. The mace represents the President's Office. It has the University seal made of solid bronze on top of a staff made from Philippine hardwood.

Manila Campus

FEU's campus has five buildings designed by the famous architect Pablo S. Antonio Sr. In 2005, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) gave FEU an award for keeping these Art Deco buildings so well preserved. These buildings include the Nicanor B. Reyes Sr. Hall, the Admissions Building, the Architecture and Fine Arts Building, the Administration Building, and the Science Building. The Cultural Center of the Philippines also recognized these historic buildings. Other important buildings are the 1950s FEU Chapel and the Arts Building, designed in the International Style.

In 2018, these Art Deco buildings, the FEU Chapel, and several artworks were declared National Cultural Treasures by the National Museum of the Philippines. The chapel has a mosaic by Vicente Manansala and paintings by Botong Francisco. Stained-glass panels and a mural by Antonio Dumlao were also recognized. Brass sculptures by Manansala and bas-reliefs by Francesco Riccardo Monti are also National Cultural Treasures.

The university has many modern facilities. These include an electronic library, different types of laboratories, an auditorium, and multimedia rooms. It also has a special gate security system and gymnasiums. FEU is known for its green and eco-friendly campus. It is often called the "Oasis of the University Belt" because of its beautiful environment.

Campus Building History

In the 1930s, American culture greatly influenced building design in the Philippines. Concrete and steel were popular materials. Architect Pablo S. Antonio Sr. used these materials to create FEU's campus buildings. His designs showed a mix of Art Deco and the International Style. The buildings were constructed between 1939 and 1950.

Heritage Buildings of FEU Manila Campus

Nicanor Reyes Sr. Hall

The Nicanor Reyes Sr. Hall is named after the university's founder. It's a long, U-shaped building facing Quezon Boulevard. This building was constructed in 1940 by National Artist Arch. Pablo Antonio Sr. It has unique vertical sections on both ends.

The building shows the strong influence of Art Deco in its design. Even the stairs have special details, with thin concrete slabs that curve like waves. The building's overall look is a great example of classic Philippine Art Deco, playing with geometric shapes.

The Nicanor Reyes Sr. Hall houses the university library and many academic offices.

Administration Building

The Administration Building was also designed by Arch. Antonio Sr. It was built about ten years after the Nicanor Reyes Hall. It stands across the campus quadrangle. Its front has geometric details, horizontal windows, and a balcony for viewing activities in the quadrangle.

This building displays works by many famous Filipino artists from the Art Deco period. A mural by Antonio Gonzales Dumlao shows the university's goals. Italian sculptor Francesco Riccardo Monti created a bas-relief in the lobby, showing Philippine history. The Art Deco FEU Auditorium is also inside this building.

The Auditorium has many Art Deco features, like curves, ribbed pillars, and geometric patterns. Its interior was restored in 2002-2003. It was the only post-war venue with air-conditioning and a revolving stage. In the 1950s, it was a major cultural center in the Philippines.

Admissions Building

The Admissions Building opened in 1940. It looks like a mirror image of the Architecture & Fine Arts Building. It was first used as the Girls' High School. Later, it housed the Institute of Medicine. In the early 2000s, it became the main building for FEU-East Asia College. In 2015, it was renovated and renamed the Admissions Building. Today, it holds offices for student admissions, financial aid, and alumni relations.

Architecture and Fine Arts Building

This building is one of two buildings that stand on either side of the Administration Building. It was designed by Arch. Antonio Sr. in the Art Deco Style and built in 1941. It used to be the Boys' High School. It also housed the Law and Nursing programs before becoming home to the Institute of Architecture and Fine Arts.

Science Building

The Science Building, with seven stories, was built in 1950. It was the last building designed by Arch. Antonio Sr. and shows a mix of Art Deco and the International Style. In 1990, an earthquake damaged the building, so the top two floors were removed. In late 2013, a sixth floor was added. This building has many science laboratories for Biology, Nursing, Medical Technology, and Pharmacy programs.

Accounts, Business and Finance Building

This 7-story building was originally an expansion of the Nursing Building in the early 1970s. It was known as the Education Building. In 2017, it was renamed the Accounts, Business and Finance Building. It is now used by the Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance.

Alfredo Reyes Hall

The Alfredo Reyes Hall is named after one of the founder's sons. It's a 6-story building next to the Nicanor Reyes Hall. It houses the Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management. It has a practice hotel, cooking labs, and a basketball court with special maple wood flooring. It also has a student-run café called Cafe Alfredo, which opened in 2014.

Arts Building

Designed by Felipe Mendoza, the Arts Building was built in 1960. It was originally 7 stories tall but was reduced to 4 stories after the August 1968 Luzon earthquake. The Arts Building is home to the Institute of Arts and Sciences' departments like Communication, Political Science, and Psychology. It has a gym on the top floor and a conference center on the ground floor.

Education Building

This seven-story building was finished in 2001 as part of FEU-EAC's expansion. Its design is similar to the Nicanor Reyes Hall, with two pillars and an arched green glass rooftop. The building now houses the Institute of Education.

Engineering Building

This nine-story building stands where the old FEU Hospital used to be. After the hospital moved, the old structure was taken down, and this new building was completed in 2005. It was designed by Arch. Pablo Antonio, Jr. and was called the Technology Building. In 2019, it was renamed the Engineering Building. It has the FEU Tech Innovation Center, a small auditorium, and the FEU Center for the Arts.

FEUTURE Center

The FEU Transformative University Resource Center, or FEUTURE Center, is the newest building at the university. It's an 8-story building on Lerma Street. It has more classrooms, learning facilities, and parking spaces. Construction started in 2018 and it opened in April 2021.

Nursing Building

This seven-story building was completed in the 1960s. It used to house the Institute of Architecture and Fine Arts. Later, it was given to the Institute of Nursing, which is why it has its current name. Today, it still has the Institute's Virtual Integrated Nursing Education Simulation Laboratory (VINES) and is mostly used by FEU High School.

FEU Auditorium

The FEU Auditorium was designed by Pablo Antonio Sr., a National Artist for Architecture, in 1949. It was known as the first "cultural center of the Philippines" and the very first fully air-conditioned auditorium in the country. It can hold 1100 people. The Auditorium was home to the Manila Symphony Orchestra for nine years. Many famous Filipino and international performers have performed there. It also hosted major plays. Today, the Auditorium continues to host notable performances.

FEU Chapel

Inside the campus is the Student Council Association (SCA) Chapel, also designed by Arch. Mendoza. It opened on December 8, 1957. Catholic activities for staff and students are held here. Inside, there are paintings by Carlos “Botong” Francisco, a National Artist for Visual Arts. His paintings include the 14 Stations of the Cross and the Crucifixion. The front of the chapel has a colorful tile mosaic of Our Lady of Fatima by Vicente Manansala.

Dr. Nicanor Reyes Sr. Memorial Square

In the center of the campus is this striking landmark. It was built to celebrate the University's 40th anniversary. It has a 65-foot flagpole on a platform. Around the platform are brass sculptures by Manansala, which show the founder's ideas about education.

FEU Library

The FEU Library is on the second and third floors of the Nicanor Reyes Hall. It has a large collection of books, including reference books and Filipino works. Students can easily find books using the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), which is an online database. The Electronic Library also provides online learning resources.

In 2012, the Philippine Association of Academic Research Librarians, Inc. (PAARL) gave the FEU library an award for its excellent contribution to academic and research librarianship.

FEU has an open admission policy, which means it welcomes many different students without very strict entrance exams. This helps more people get a college education. However, some specific programs might have extra requirements.

FEU helps over 3,500 students with scholarships every year. This means about 11% of all students receive financial help. Scholarships are given to students who do well in school, those who need financial help, and students who represent the university in sports or other activities.

Grading System

A student's final grade at FEU is usually a letter. This letter shows how well they did in their assignments and tests. An "A" is worth 4 points, "B+" is 3.5, "B" is 3, "C+" is 2.5, "C" is 2, "D+" is 1.5, "D" is 1, and "F" is 0. To pass any course at FEU, a student needs at least 50%.
