Admissions from the Preparatory Program to Undergraduate Programs
PMU's approach to learning is unique. The distinctiveness derives from the “learning outcomes approach” that is used to guide PMU students to achieving six university-defined core competencies. This approach and the resulting methodology permeate and define the curriculum throughout the Preparatory Program, building a community of student-learners and teacher-facilitators with a shared commitment to understanding and intellectual growth.

- Communication
