Patrician College of Arts and Science, established in 2001, is a Christian minority co-educational self-financing institution affiliated to the University of Madras. It was instituted by the Brothers of St. Patrick, a congregation established by Bishop Daniel Delany on 2nd February 1808, in Ireland. The members of the congregation carry inspiration from the life and spirit of their Patron Saint - St. Patrick. With a noble spirit to serve humanity, the Patrician Brothers stepped into the vocation of educating the youth to free them from the bonds of ignorance. With their exceptional skill in leadership, governance and the strong hand of the Almighty, the congregation has established schools & colleges throughout the world.

In consonance with the philosophy of Brothers’ congregation, the college aims at providing quality education to the youth of today with utmost sincerity. To facilitate this, the management has been keen in building the faculty with qualified teachers, pooling in resources from different platforms, and installing state-of- the art infrastructural facilities. Moreover, the College backs up students with a number of support services on and off campus. Along with curricular and co-curricular activities, the College constantly insists that a sense of social conscience has to be instilled in the minds of students. In view of this, several outreach programmes are conducted wherein students enthusiastically participate and do a better service.
