Parvatibai Chowgule College of Arts & Science is a college based in the South Goa district of Margao, on the west coast of India.

When Chowgules was founded, the Goa liberation movement was at its peak. People had come out on the streets to fight against the Portuguese army. During that period there was another freedom movement going on in the other part of Goa.

Vishwasrao Chowgule, an industrialist and philanthropist, had been negotiating with the newly formed government to get a plot of land to build a college. Finally, in 1962 Chowgule House got permission to house a college in the military barracks setup near Arlem. Founded in memory of his mother, the college was inaugurated by the then External Minister Smt. Lakshmi Menon on 23 June 1962.

In 2008, Chowgules was accredited with A Grade by NAAC and in 2010, won the Goa University Silver Jubilee Year Award for "Best College."
