What majors are available in Philippine universities?

At the beginning of the school’s founding, there were only two teaching units in the school, namely the Academy of Fine Arts and the Academy of Agriculture established in 1908. In 1910, the Philippine Medical School (founded in 1907) was merged into the University of the Philippines and expanded into the School of Medicine in 1923. In the first 10 years after its establishment, the school successively established 7 departments, including the Department of Medicine, the School of Engineering, the School of Education, the School of Music, the School of Law, the Department of Literature, and the Department of Veterinary Medicine. The second president was the Filipino Igo Ignacio Villamor. He attaches great importance to curriculum and hopes to establish a team of teachers who are competitive in the fields of teaching and scientific research and gradually make them Filipino. The University of the Philippines developed rapidly during the administration of its fourth president, Rafael Palma (1923-1934). The president actively safeguards academic freedom, but opposes turning the university into an ivory tower isolated from the world. In December 1941, the Philippines was occupied by Japan. During World War II, the school buildings were damaged and normal teaching activities were greatly affected. Only some departments were open at that time. In June 1945, after Dr. Bienvenido M Gonzalez was re-elected as principal (he had served as the sixth principal since 1939 and was forced to resign in 1943), he began to formulate School relocation plan. In December 1948, on the occasion of its 40th anniversary, the University of the Philippines in Manila, except for the School of Medicine and the Institute of Health, moved to Diliman, Quezon City, another important town in Metro Manila. In 1953, based on the requirements of Clark Air Force Base (the largest air force base in the country), the school jointly established the University of the Philippines Clark Air Force Base College. Currently there are 3 undergraduate majors and 3 graduate majors. In 1968, the University of the Philippines already had 28 colleges (scattered across 3 campuses) and 5 local colleges (of which Baguio College was the largest.

On November 20, 1972, Marcos, the then President of the Republic of China, ordered a major reorganization of the University of the Philippines, aiming to turn the school into a national first-class university and implement a unified and decentralized management system. Some academic institutions Gain autonomy. After taking office in 1969, the eleventh president, Dr. Salvador P Lopez, actively promoted the democratic consultation system, expanded teaching and scientific research facilities, increased faculty salaries, established a scholarship system, and further expanded the scale of the school. On January 1, 1973, the University Board of Trustees officially approved the establishment of the first branch campus, Los Ba?os Branch, and concretely implemented the institutional reform plan for decentralized management and branch autonomy. The branch is located 80 kilometers south of Manila, which is the main agricultural area in the Philippines and the largest forest nature reserve in the country. It is the best area to carry out agricultural and forestry professional teaching and scientific experiments. In 1977, the University Board of Trustees decided to establish a Health Sciences Center in Manila. In 1979, the University of the Philippines Manila was officially established. The Manila campus and the Diliman campus are located in the Capital Region. Therefore, teaching and scientific research focus on humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, technical sciences and medicine. In May of the same year, the third branch, the Visayas branch, was announced. This branch is located southeast of Manila and is a fishery and aquaculture base. Therefore, it focuses on fishery, aquaculture and other majors. This school-running policy tailored to local conditions is not only conducive to local and national economic development, but also adapts to the admission requirements of young people from all over the country. The University of the Philippines signed an extension education plan with the Pampanga provincial government in 1979 and enrolled 117 undergraduate students and 40 graduate students in San Fernando, the capital of the province. The undergraduate majors include economics, business administration, and psychology, and the master’s majors are Management.
