Collegiate work is characterized not only by a severe study of the particular discipline but also by reliance on scientific inquiry to pursue academic excellence. Faculty members and students engaged in this endeavor always seek to advance the frontiers of knowledge by experimentation, research, and publication (Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation, 2012 Manual of Accreditation).
While the University of Cebu's mantra is to make available quality but affordable education to all, it has opened its gate wider by accepting deserving students into its scholarship and study grants program. Every year, an estimated 7,000 scholars are admitted to the University's various institutional, local, and international scholarship programs. To date, the institution has graduated with a sizable number of grant recipients and scholars.
The value of education as an instrument of change has emerged as the primary concern of educators. Undoubtedly, education, whether formal or non-formal, is recognized as a critical component of development. Its role as a catalyst and tool of development has gained wider dimensions with modern communication strategies. Today, education and communication are inseparable and are considered as a single unified channel for national progress. Its harmonious integration serves as the most effective liberating force for the individual. Within this perspective, the UC Cultural Development Program's primary concern is to seek the proper balance and linkage of the students' learning experience and the faculty members' professional growth through the interfacing of the academic, scientific, technical, and vocational structure of the institution. The UC Students Cultural Services principally aims at integrating the various cultural activities of UC to the educational process of the student, faculty, and personnel within and outside the campus. It pursues a program that exalts the UC stated mission. Its general thrust is directed towards communicating and popularizing the richness of the Filipino culture and heritage (both in themes and praxis), educating UC community members, and entertaining them. It focuses not only on the aesthetic value of an art form but also on actual human content for the development, liberation, and happiness of man.
The University of Cebu Athletics Office prepares athletics and sports programs to benefit students, faculty, and school personnel. The office likewise directs official athletic teams' activities and supervises their training for their participation in local, national, and international competitions. All these years, the Athletics Department is a stronghold of the University, having reaped accolades and honor in sports, and have produced athletes who have made the country proud in international sports competitions. The Athletics Department also organizes sports activities on the campus for the students and employees. It assists them by providing sports equipment, game officials, and financial support, if necessary. Other than the Athletics Department's in-school services, it also extends through its outreach program to the various adapted communities and organizations Sports Clinic, Seminars, lending of sports equipment, assisting in the securing of sports equipment, and at times play exhibition games for entertainment.
We are passionate about the development and impact of our knowledge and how, in partnership, we can apply this to real challenges.
