THE MAPUA University inked a partnership agreement with Arizona State University to increase access to high-quality international education for Filipino students in business and health sciences.

With the partnership, students will benefit from a highly distinctive curriculum based on three fundamental pillars — worldwide exposure, real-world experiential learning and digital expertise.

Mapua students will have access to ASU’s world-class content and curricula, as well as participate in Global Signature Courses with faculty and classmates from other countries, all of which will take place in a state-of-the-art global classrooms, giving them a broader worldview and expanding their international network.

Mapua University President Dr. Reynaldo Vea said that the agreement provides digitally-enhanced and outcomes-based education.

“International, research-driven, digitally-enhanced and outcomes-based: this is the character of Mapuan education,” he said.

“Our strategic collaboration with ASU enables us to push the envelope further, by providing our students with the opportunity to learn with a top US university. Our goal is to further enable a new generation of forward-looking Filipino business and health professionals to transform lives and society positively,” Vea added.

Mapua’s E.T. Yuchengco School of Business will begin offering ASU-enhanced courses in August 2022 on the Makati campus.

ASU expressed its gratitude for the partnership with Mapua.

“We are delighted to launch this new collaborative effort with one of the top universities in the Philippines and its subsidiary colleges,” Arizona State University President Michael Crow said.

“We are selective about finding the right partners. The Mapua schools share our vision of delivering high-quality global education at scale to our students, in order to help individuals thrive and make our world a better place. We look forward to working together and advancing ways in which these colleges can continue to innovate to meet the needs of students as we move ahead,” he added.
