History

Founded in 1880, the college's name reflects its early history as a liberal arts college and preparatory school (now St. Aloysius College High School) on the same campus.[citation needed] It was affiliated to the University of Madras in 1882.{www.staloysius.edu.in/about/milestones-1880-onwards}}

In 1955, the college was affiliated to the newly established Karnatak University.[citation needed]

In 1999, the college launched its first full-fledged master's program, Master of Computer Application (MCA), followed by Master of Business Administration (MBA) in 2004.[citation needed] This led to the inauguration of a new campus on the outskirts of Mangaluru known as Aloysius Institute of Management and Information Technology (AIMIT) in 2008.[7]

In 2007, the college was granted autonomous status and has been conducting its day-to-day activities under the autonomous system ever since. The current Principal of St. Aloysius College is Praveen Martis.[citation needed]

The motto of this college is "Lucet et Ardet" - Latin for "Shine to Enkindle". The motto mainly refers to the qualities of the mind and the heart. It is the deep desire of the Alma Mater to present to the world, men and women with knowledge and creativity and hearts burning with genuine love and concern for others.[8]
