VISION:

Clearing the paths while laying new foundations to transform the Polytechnic University of the
Philippines into an epistemic community.

MISSION:

Reflective of the great emphasis being given by the country's leadership aimed at providing appropriate
attention to the alleviation of the plight of the poor, the development of the citizens, and of the national
economy to become globally competitive, the University shall commit its academic resources and
manpower to achieve its goals through:

a. Provision of undergraduate and graduate education which meet international standards of quality
and excellence;

b. Generation and transmission of knowledge in the broad range of disciplines relevant and
responsive to the dynamically changing domestic and international environment;

c. Provision of more equitable access to higher education opportunities to deserving and qualified
Filipinos; and

d. Optimization, through efficiency and effectiveness, of social, institutional, and individual returns
and benefits derived from the utilization of higher education resources.

and extension services;
4. Equip graduates with appropriate knowledge and technical skills imbued with desirable work
attitudes and moral values, through enhanced teaching/learning process by using multimedia
facilities on top of traditional method;
5. Create a conducive teaching and learning atmosphere with emphasis to faculty and students
growth and academic freedom;
6. Establish network with educational institutions, industries, GOs and NGOs local and
international, which could serve as;
a) Funding sources and/or partners of researches.
b) Sources of new technology.
c) Centers for faculty and students exchange program and on-the-job trainings and;
d) Grantees of scholarships/additional facilities and;
7. Continuously conduct action researchers on the needs of laboratory and other facilities that could
be locally produced or innovated using local materials and adapted technology.
