Arellano University was created through the initiative of Florentino Cayco, Sr., the first Filipino Undersecretary of Public Instruction and an educator. In 1938, he established the Arellano Law College[3] in Intramuros.[note 1] The university closed on December 1941 to 1945 because of the Japanese invasion in the Philippines during World War II.[4] It reopened in April 1945 and was renamed as Arellano Colleges.[4] In June 1946, Cayco became the first President of Arellano University and through his efforts Arellano Colleges became Arellano University on 22 February 1947. Arellano University moved it site on Plaza Guipit in 1948 before being relocated back to Sampaloc.[6] In 1954, Arellano University opened an institute of nursing and later a law school,[4] followed by the other institutes, and since has expanded into six constituent universities which was named after several national heroes of the Philippines as follows; Andres Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini, Jose Abad Santos, Jose Rizal, Juan Marquez–Sumulong, and Marcelo H. del Pilar.

Recent happenings include the fatal death of a 10-year-old pupil from Arellano University in Malabon named Lyzel Angela Santiago who was playing with the swing when she fell to the ground face down just as the swing's frame cracked open her head[7][8] and a nursing student named Katrina Bautista from Arellano University in Pasig when she drowned during their immersion at Ilog Bulo, San Miguel, Bulacan. Ever since, some parents questioned the safety of the university.

Students also questioned the claim of the University that it gives scholarship to students applying at the School of Law with grade average of 85 and above[9] because when a student would apply for the said scholarship, the faculty evades the issue. Some even citing it is a propaganda to attract enrollment.

The celebration for the World Intellectual Property Day for 2010 on the Philippines was held at the university, with Hon. Harry K. Thomas, Jr. delivering the welcome message.[10]
