THE PANGASINAN State University inked a Memorandum of Agreement with University of the Philippines Los Baños and Lyceum of the Philippines Batangas for an academic collaboration.

PSU announced on Friday the partnership with LPU is for faculty members who aspire to pursue further studies in the field of International Hospitality and Tourism.

It added this is also in line with the launching of LPU’s Doctor of Philosophy in IHTM starting next school year.

Officials from PSU and LPU met virtually for the MoA signing on Wednesday.

The Pangasinan-based university’s partnership with UPLB, on the other hand, is for collaborative opportunities in areas of research and extension, academic programs development, faculty exchange, and leadership enhancement.

Officials from both universities met personally on Monday at its main campus in Lingayen.

Both partnerships coincided with PSU’s 42nd Founding Anniversary celebration.
