The University of Southeastern Philippines is a state university that contributes to the development of human capital and to fostering innovations to transform communities in Mindanao, the Filipino nation, and the world.

As a community of scholars, we aim to develop life-long learners who, guided by conscience, actively engage in the pursuit of generating and extending knowledge through research, extension, and responsible professional practice.

PRINCIPLES FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING IN THE UNIVERSITY

In all our educational endeavors, we strive to be continually guided by the following principles:

• Teaching and learning is based on science and evidence stemming from experience and reflections on the teaching practice.

• A conducive learning environment is founded on integrity and mutual respect, where learning is a co-construction among scholars.

• The learner is an active participant in the learning process to develop oneself and others’ potential.

• A transformative learning experience is grounded in critical and reflective thinking and provides opportunities for practice, improvement, and action.
