José Rizal University (formerly José Rizal College or JRC), also referred to by its acronym JRU, is a private non-sectarian, non-stock coeducational basic and higher education institution located in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines.

The university was originally known as Far Eastern College Schools of Accounts, Commerce and Finance and was situated along Arlegui Street.

[2] Originally offering commerce and high school degrees, the college expanded its offerings to include an elementary school, education and liberal arts at the undergraduate level, and law, business administration, public administration, and education at the graduate level.

The college is especially proud of Ramon Magsaysay, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1932 and who subsequently became the seventh President of the Philippines.

José Rizal College was granted university status by the Commission on Higher Education in 2000.

All courses offered in the College Division are recognized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines.

Literary and musical programs, convocations featuring noted resource persons, and other social gatherings are frequently held at the campus.

The Bombers emblem features a man riding an aerial bomb, with the letters "JRU" ("JRC" when the school was still named José Rizal College) on his face.

The school got the name "bombers" because of the rumored underground bombs on the campus area from the country's Japanese period.

The Filipino lyrics was written by Daniel A. Cabaña, a high school student who won the university's hymn writing contest in 1978.

Both Cabaña and Umali obtained their bachelor's degree in commerce from José Rizal College, which was JRU's previous name.
