CEBU CITY—The National University (NU) Philippines opened its 13th campus in Metro Cebu at the North Wing SM City Cebu Complex with a media tour of the facility on June 4.
“We are bringing to the Visayas education that is accessible, affordable, quality, education that works,” said Johanna Minglana, Executive and Administrative Director of NU Cebu.
An NU education means employability after graduation. Minglana said that almost 92 percent of NU’s graduates have been employed with the SM Group of Companies and its subsidiaries because NU is part of SM Investments.
To date, there are already about 9,000 students registered with NU-Cebu. Psychology has become its most popular degree program among aspiring students.
NU Cebu also offers industry-responsive Senior High School programs and academic degree programs such as Accountancy, Architecture, Computer Science, Tourism Management, and Medical Technology.
“NU Cebu aims to be the top-of-mind university that prepares individuals not only to be job-ready, but life-ready—individuals who are equipped with the skills, values, and mindset needed in today’s fast-changing world,” Minglana added.
On its 125th milestone year, NU Cebu serves as the 2nd campus of the university in Visayas—after NU Bacolod City in Negros Occidental—and first in the Central Visayas region.
The home of the Cebuano Bulldogs, NU Cebu primes itself as a safe and exciting place where learning, passion, and purpose come together. The six-level, 25,000-plus square meter campus can house about 14,000 students.
It is proudly committed to molding students who exemplify hard work, discipline, and determination. Celebrating not only victories, NU Cebu continues to uphold the Nationalian values that come with striving for excellence in all areas of life.
“What makes NU Cebu truly special is its people—all locally hired seasoned administrators, faculty, and administrative support personnel. As a member of the SM Group, NU Cebu uses the SM model for excellent customer service,” Minglana said.
“Its dedicated faculty, hardworking personnel, and brilliant CebuaNU students form a strong and inclusive community built on trust, mutual respect, and a shared mission of nation-building through education,” she added.
With National University’s strong heritage of academic excellence since 1900, NU Cebu continues the legacy of nurturing the country’s brightest and innovative minds as it welcomes a new generation of dreamers and doers-students, who aspire to lead and serve.
