The University of Santo Tomas Graduate School (USTGS) recently established its fourth partnership with a local university – the University of San Carlos – Cebu for MA Marketing Communication and Master of Fine Arts programs, as it intensifies its plans for consortia.
The partnership with USC is a welcome addition to the list of partnerships that the USTGS has established since last year with the University of San Agustin – Iloilo for its Master of Laws and MS Pharmacy programs, the Ateneo de Davao University for its MA Architecture program and Aquinas University – Legazpi for its Master of Arts major in Library and Information Science and Master of Laws programs.
The partnerships offer several advantages for USTGS as the linkages have made Thomasian graduate education more readily available to those who do not have all the resources to avail of its quality education at the University’s main campus. Without having to be physically present in the University on a regular basis, graduate students may acquire the substance of Thomasian training and be branded as Thomasians after attending the special programs. The core values of Thomasian identity (competence, compassion and commitment) get ingrained in the students by the same faculty who implant in them Thomasian ethical values. Moreover, the UST Graduate School is also able to accommodate more students without having to worry about the constraints of physical space at the university campus in Manila.
