The Philippine Investment-Management (PHINMA) Group of Companies remains true to its mission of creating a better quality of the Filipino life. PHINMA’s brand of excellence has been creating waves in the business sector for the past 56 years; the vision of three optimistic gentlemen for the country is gradually building our destiny of being at par with the rest of the world. When the Group acquired Araullo University in 2004, Novo Ecijanos were given the opportunity to share the PHINMA dream, and make it real as well.

Araullo University – PHINMA has come a long way from that humble class of 27 law students in 1950; the academe is now second home to around 5,800 potential nation-builders and global movers. As we step into our eighth year as the flagship of PHINMA Education Network’s scholastic voyage, along with University of Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro College, and University of Pangasinan, we are leaving Araullo’s controversial past behind and setting sail on to its true destination: To become number one in the province and the region.

Shaping the Novo Ecijano youth into globally-competent professionals has always been AU-PHINMA’s guiding principle for the constant improvement of its curriculum and adoption of innovative teaching-learning methods. The high academic standards and rigorous training may be challenging, but it is guaranteed that Araullians will leave their alma mater equipped with skills and smarts that match the society’s demands. Currently, AU-PHINMA is preparing her children to be the leaders of the fields of business, education, information technology, engineering, health, and public service.

Believing that every Filipino should have full access to quality education, the institution also offers a variety of scholarship grants and discounts for deserving, determined but financially disadvantaged students. We can take

pride in our roster of scholar graduates who are now successful in their respective careers. As of present, a huge chunk of our population benefits from full scholarships with monthly stipends to ten percent tuition fee discounts.

Moreover, AU-PHINMA further pushes its boundaries with its mentorship on students who willingly dedicate their ideals and talents for socio-political change. Aside from producing contenders for Ayala Young Leaders Congress and Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines, we are also including every other Araullian in the student leadership fold through day camps and related programs. These activities aim to foster unity among students and temper more potential nation-builders and global movers.

Along with impressive passing rates, consistent academic and extra-curricular triumphs, and continuous community outreach efforts, we are still expanding our horizon as a university with the addition of certificate courses and the AU-PHINMA South Campus. Indeed, we are setting the PHINMA dream in motion.

As we extend Hawak Kamay to the masses, we move forward to an era where studying in the province is no longer a cheaper alternative, but a primary choice to make our lives better. Indeed, Araullo University – PHINMA has come a long way from that humble class of 27 law students in 1950.
