“Kabilang ang PUP Open University System doon sa free tuition na nasa batas natin. Hindi ito yung traditional system na papasok ka araw-araw. Actually meron tayong combination ng synchronous and asynchronous,” said Dr. Rudolf Lacerna, the executive director of the PUP Open University System.Starting from two courses, the system has since expanded to at least 10 undergraduate programs where applicants can sign up.For example under Business Administration, applicants can choose courses such as Marketing Management, Office Administration and Tourism Management. Among Communication courses, one can select from Journalism, Advertising and Public Relations. There are Engineering and Information Technology programs being offered as well.Aside from working parents who wish to continue or finish their post-high school education, the Open University also welcomes Persons with Disabilities , Persons Deprived of Liberty and survivors of serious illnesses. There is also no age limitation.Lacerna said applicants only need to pass the entrance examination and submit a number of requirements such as a birth certificate, credentials from the high school where they studied that coincides with the curriculum when they were enrolled. —RF, GMA Integrated News
