known as the "Pamantasang Bayan", is a fresh and

services in a manner that differs from the formal,
highly structured, and classroom-oriented traditional

Institute of Open and Distance Education / Transnational
Education
Distance education provides option in terms of where and when
you learn. You may study independently, with the guidance of a
teacher or a tutor who grades and comments on your work or
you may study online, communicating with your teacher and
other students in your “online” classroom.

Institute of Non-Traditional Study Program and ETEEAP

Offers practitioners or executives who have shown top-caliber
abilities in their fields of specialization, an opportunity to
complete their college degrees or graduate programs and earn
their diplomas without having to take a leave from the jobs.

Institute for Continuing and Professional Development

Committed on enhancing the individual professional's knowledge
and skills through integrated industry-based professional
development experiences in collaboration with the Professional
Regulations Commission, the Commission on Higher Education,
and other government agencies.
HISTORY
The Polytechnic University of the Philippines Open
University (PUP OU) otherwise known as the
"Pamantasang Bayan", which formally commenced in
1990, is a fresh and innovative system of delivering higher
educational services in a manner that differs from the
formal, highly structured, and classroom-oriented
traditional approach.

The PUP OU is in consonance with the 1987 Philippine

Constitution. Article IV mandates that quality education at
all levels should be made accessible to all Filipinos and
self-learning, independent, out-of-school study programs,
non-formal, informal and indigenous learning systems, be
developed particularly those which respond to community
needs.
HISTORY
While broadcast-based distance learning
systems in the Philippines were popular in the
1960's, it was PUP which first implemented
the concept of the Open University, that is, a
university within a university offering both
degree and non-degree programs in the
country duly certified by corresponding
certificates or diplomas upon satisfactory
compliance of course requirements.
