“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a few small steps.”
Welcome to another school year my dear students especially the first year students who chose to pursue their studies in Our Lady of Fatima University. You have made an excellent choice of spending the most crucial years of your studies in an institution that has already proven its credibility for 42 years. Your college life will help you a lot in becoming successful individuals in the future and that is the reason why we, the administrators, faculty members, and staff are here to make your stay in Fatima a significant and a fruitful one.
The school year unfolds with bountiful blessings that came on our way during the past months. After the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) visited the College of Nursing of the University in August 2008, the College was given a “Center of Development” status which means that it is just one step away to become a “Center of Excellence”, a distinction that is given only to very few educational institutions.
Different colleges continue to shine in several board examinations such as the recent Medicine, Nursing, Medical Technology, and Pharmacy Board Exams. The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) awarded for the fifth time, the College of Pharmacy the “Top Performing School” citation for its 100% passing average in the board exams for the past year. Likewise, graduates of Medicine, Nursing, and Medical Technology continue to dominate the top places in the licensure examinations.
In December 2008, the University was once again visited by the CHED for its IQuAME or Institutional Quality Assurance through Monitoring and Evaluation accreditation. Fatima University is classified as A(t) or a “matured teaching institution”, the third in Metro Manila and ninth in the country.
Different courses also show their excellence in their fields of endeavor. Deans and faculty members are continuously recognized by different institutions for their significant contributions and achievements. To cap all these, Fatima just after few years of achieving its University and Deregulated Status, was given an Autonomous Status by the CHED in recognition of its accomplishments, adherence to quality assurance, and commitment to public responsibility and accountability as a higher education institution. All private higher education institutions (PHEI) strive for Autonomous Status but only very few attain such including Fatima. With this, we now join the ranks of the best schools in the Philippines.
To give back the blessings to you, the University has been granting numerous scholarships both for new and old students. If you have already qualified to become an academic scholar, you are certainly blessed. Please exert an extra effort to maintain it. If you aspire to become one, it’s never too late. You may speak with your college dean or instructors about getting a scholarship.
You may also further develop your skills and learn new things by joining recognized academic organizations in the University because learning does not end in the classrooms and through lecture. It goes beyond with the relevant experiences that you will encounter in the clubs that you will join.
We are continuing to upgrade our resources. The newly-built Antipolo campus is an indication that we are further expanding and to meet your needs, we invest in the best facilities to bring you excellent education. Competent instructors are also here to guide you and we make sure that they are always updated with the latest discoveries in their respective fields. We are comparable with other best Universities in the country, but in terms of tuition, we are incomparable. We offer the most affordable tuition and the doors of learning are always open because we believe in one vision.
“Improving man as man” has been the vision of Fatima University, a vision that our beloved founders carved on the stones of learning and that all of us continue to enrich until today. After earning your degrees, you will go back to your own communities or you may pursue a career in a foreign country. But as you practice your future professions, keep in mind our University’s vision – to help in improving the quality of lives of others.
Once again, welcome to Our Lady of Fatima University and may you all have a meaningful college life with us.
