Adamson University (AdU) or simply Adamson is one of the largest private Catholic university in Manila, Philippines. It was founded on June 30, 1932 by the late Dr. George Lucas Adamson, who was shortly joined by his cousins, Alexander Adamson and George Athos Adamson, as the Adamson School of Industrial Chemistry. It is a member of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). Being a Catholic institution, it participates in the mission of the Church to critically communicate human culture and promote the total formation of a human being. It seeks to contribute to an improved quality of human life together with the environment by undertaking research and extending relevant community services. Currently, Adamson is ranked 8th among Philippine universities based on number of Centers of Excellence and Development. ^[1]

Initial efforts were directed towards the developmental needs of the Philippines, particularly in the areas of science and chemical technology. On February 5, 1941, the school was granted university status by the Department of Education. On December 4, 1964, the university was turned over to the Vincentian Fathers of the Congregation of the Mission (CM) and was incorporated into the Adamson Ozanam Education Institutions, Inc. Today, Adamson University has programs in graduate education, law, the arts and sciences, engineering, nursing, pharmacy, architecture, business administration, teacher education, as well as secondary, elementary, and preparatory education. In February 2007, Adamson University celebrated its 75th founding day. ^[1]
