Key Features
- Holistic Approach. Our approach is comprehensive and integrative, drawing knowledge from a wide range of fields, encompassing philosophy, political science, sociology, anthropology, public administration, development studies, environmental science, communication, and business.
- Outstanding Faculty. Our faculty members are recognized experts in their respective fields. They hold respectable positions in the government, non-government organizations, industry, and the academe; thereby making students appreciate the breadth and depth of the program.
- Problem-Posing Method. We treat our students as partners in teaching-learning processes, providing them hypothetical and real-world cases to solve rather than ready-made answers to memorize.
