Mapúa University remains committed with their expertise in providing high quality education for all. And they continue to evolve in expanding horizons in providing students the international education they deserve. As Mapúa recently announced their collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU), this joint initiative aims to expand the access Filipino students will have to high quality international education in both business and health sciences. This partnership with Mapúa and ASU is the first and only collaboration initiated by the most innovative university in the United States.
This groundbreaking collaboration will provide students with a highly differentiated education that will be centered on three core pillars –international exposure, real-world experiential learning and digital expertise.
By grounding this new collaboration around these three core pillars, Mapúa students will now be able to access ASU’s world-class content and curricula and participate in Global Signature Courses with faculty and classmates from other countries conducted in a state-of-the-art Global Classrooms facility, which will give them a broader worldview and more international network.
Students will also be immersed in real-world experiential learning co-designed with industry partners, through problem-based learning and modern tech-enabled simulation environments. To round out their experience, they will have enhanced opportunities to learn the digital skill sets necessary for this era of rapid technological transformation, by leveraging ASU’s digital expertise. These experiences will enable Mapúa graduates to hit the ground running in cutting- edge careers here and abroad.
“International, research-driven, digitally-enhanced and outcomes-based: this is the character of Mapúan education,” said Dr. Reynaldo B. Vea, President of Mapúa University. “Our strategic collaboration with ASU enables us to push the envelope further, by providing our students with the opportunity to learn with a top U.S university. Our goal is to further enable a new generation of forward-looking Filipino business and health professionals to transform lives and society positively.”
