OLFU Course Offerings:

  • OLFU offers Basic Education (pre-school, grade school, and junior high school), Senior High School, Certificate-Diploma Programs, Baccalaureate Degree Programs, Medicine, Dental Medicine, and Graduate School programs.

Class/Learning Modalities:

The teaching modalities will be a mix of online class lectures & discussions, on-campus interface, and/or self-directed learning through research & writings, readings, and performance tasks. Online learning will initially be implemented which will slowly transition to flexible learning (combined online and face-to-face) once the COVID crisis improves.

Also, OLFU is one among a few select schools to be granted the Certificate of Authority by the CHEd, allowing it to conduct limited face-to-face classes in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic;  a testament to the University’s established and effective community safety protocols.

The modalities to be used will depend on the call of the times. But whatever that may be, OLFU will strictly follow the DOH/ WHO health parameters, and will navigate its learners through the waters— fluidly and safely.
