Starting next year, the University of the Philippines Mindanao will significantly upgrade its academic programs to help address regional and national needs, and update its admissions policies in alignment with the push by UP President Angelo Jimenez to ensure more equitable access to high-quality, state-subsidized tertiary education.
For Academic Year 2025-2026, UP Mindanao will introduce programs in Doctor of Medicine , becoming the first state university in Davao City that will offer the MD program. The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao is among the regions with the lowest doctor-to-population ratios in the Philippines.
A new MS Biology graduate program will open in AY 2024-2025, with four specialty tracks adopted from the Institute of Biology in UP Diliman. In the same year, the new Associate in Entrepreneurship under the School of Management hopes to enhance the culture of innovation and the local start-up ecosystem to potentially drive Mindanao’s “new economy” and generate more jobs.
Jimenez also emphasized the importance of inclusivity in admissions to help support applicants limited by geographic and socieconomic conditions, saying, “There is a need to update the current admissions system to ensure that Filipinos, especially the most marginalized, have greater access to quality education.”
