The history of the Philippine Christian University Institute of Philosophy and Religious Studies Graduate School began in 2001. During the first semester of 2001, the faculty of Union Theological Seminary (UTS) finalized the proposal to establish a doctoral program in theology to be administered by the faculty of UTS. The program was fully underway in the second semester of 2001 with three students, who were all faculty of UTS. The degree offered initially was the Doctor of Theology. It soon attracted new students.

During the first semester of 2002 the program came under the umbrella of PCU, allowing it to have the CHED approval status. It named the department as Graduate School of Religion and Philosophy and offered a Doctor of Philosophy in Theology. The number of students increased from 2002-2004 with students from Korea and Myanmar joining the Graduate School. By the year 2006-2007, a new curriculum was fully developed and in place. At the end of the school year 2007-2008, a new program was proposed, which was to meet the needs of PCU and PCU’s ecumenical partners, the UCCP and the Methodist Churches. A Master of Arts in Theological Studies (MATS) was proposed and began classes in 2008-2009. During that year the number of students in the program increased significantly.

In 2011 the undergraduate program of Religion and Philosophy joined the graduate program of Religion and Philosophy and the Institute of Philosophy and Religious Studies (IPRS) was born. Dr. Alfredo Agtarap became the first Director of IPRS in 2011-2012. Dr. Dennis Shu Maung was the coordinator of the Doctor of Missiology and the non-residential PhD programs; Dr. Paul D. Matheny was the coordinator of the Doctor of Philosophy program and Dr. Mary C Nebelsick was the coordinator of Master of Arts in Theological Studies program. In the year 2012-2013, the Institute received the formal acknowledgement of its CHED accreditation and ISO requirements.

The emergence of the Corona Virus 2019 pandemic has changed the world and Higher Education Institutions have to adjust to the new situation where in person classes are prohibited. In response to this circumstance, through the leadership of the University President, Dr. Junifen F. Gauuan, the Philippine Christian University has instituted innovative ways to fulfill her mandate to provide quality education. In this regard, the IPRS has shifted to alternative or remote teaching modalities, both synchronous and asynchronous. Virtual classes were initiated to facilitate the learning process.

In the School Year 2021-2022, during the incumbency of Dr. Marcelino B. Padama as Department Head of IPRS, the Bachelor of Arts in Church Management and the Doctor of Philosophy in Church Administration were offered under the Transnational Educational Program (TNEP) of the University.

As the University became borderless, digital and multiversity, enrollees in the IPRS has dramatically increased from 19 in School Year 2020-2021 to 112 in 2022-2023.

The IPRS is committed to continuously providing cutting-edge and innovative advanced theological educations that are relevant and responsive to the needs of the time.
