Mapúa University, the country’s premier engineering and technological institution, has culminated its centennial year celebrations with academic and cultural events highlighting the institute’s innumerable contributions and impact since its founding in 1925.

The institution also strived to attain various milestones leading to the founding anniversary such as its inclusion in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE WUR) 2025, with a 1501+ overall rank, attaining the first Quality Matters (QM) certification for a Philippine education system, and bagging the much-coveted NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Season 100 basketball title, after a 33-year wait.

As the University moves into the next 100 years, Mapúa University president and chief executive officer Dr. Dodjie S. Maestrecampo stated that Mapúa will continue to be a beacon of progress as it persists in pushing the boundaries of the landscape of education to ensure that its graduates are not just ready for the future but are also capable of creating it.

“Mapúa’s turn into its next century signifies its readiness to face challenges and opportunities to ensure that students would be ready for the workplace and life itself. Students can expect a more vibrant learning community, a top-notch educational experience wherein they are immersed in cutting-edge technology to aid them in learning, research, and community extension projects, and a meaningful engagement in vibrant campus life to balance their academic with extracurricular activities, enabling them to develop their leadership skills,” said Dr. Maestrecampo.

Dr. Maestrecampo explained the University’s plans to strengthen its offering of fully online senior high school, undergraduate, and graduate programs to broaden the educational opportunities for learners who cannot attend face-to-face classes.

The institution will continue integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its program curricula to foster co-intelligence among its learners. This approach will enhance their digital literacy and competency in learning, working, and maximizing AI.

To complement this, the institution’s new and improved university-wide digital tools, Ally and EAC Visual Data, Engage, and MapúaX, have enhanced the learning experience of Filipino students and professionals through enhanced learner support, engagement, and comprehensive access to educational resources.
