True to its commitment in delivering global education to students,
Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao (Mapúa MCM)’s Alfonso T. Yuchengco College of
Business and College of Health Sciences collaborate with Arizona State
University (ASU), the No. 1 in Innovation among universities in the U.S. for
nine consecutive years—according to the U.S. News & World Report’s 2024
rankings. Dr. Rick Shangraw, Jr., President of Cintana Education, affirmed this
undertaking and solidified the ongoing relationship during his most recent
visit to Mapúa MCM.
In this collaboration, Mapúa MCM students and faculty are provided
with unparalleled opportunities to explore high-quality, global education in
business and health sciences. Dr. Shangraw emphasized the collaborative nature
of the initiative, stating, “Students and faculty are given the chance to
engage in excellent programs and courses, both at Mapúa MCM and Arizona State
University. They can enroll in ASU or study online at other state universities,
earning degrees from both institutions.”
One of the notable aspects of this collaboration is the
synergistic network of both institutions. Mapúa MCM has made its mark on the
global stage when its business students competed in the 2023 Grand Finals of
the International Student Start-Up Idea Competition in New Delhi, India. ASU’s
pursuit of excellence in innovation further emphasizes the exceptional
educational experience provided to MMCM students.
The collaboration extends beyond academics, offering scholarships,
loan programs, and other financial aid programs to ease the burden on students.
Dr. Shangraw elaborated, “We are actively working to make their experience more
affordable, understanding the financial challenges faced by Filipino students.”
Moreover, students benefit from real-world experiential learning,
industry-driven problem solving, and modern tech-enabled simulation
environments. Dr. Shangraw emphasized ASU’s commitment to preparing students
for the future, stating, “We focus on digital skill sets, essential in the era
of rapid technological transformation. ASU, through the Cintana Alliance,
offers a vast array of courses, ensuring students are well-equipped for the
evolving global landscape.”
Dr. Shangraw stressed the importance of nurturing not just
students’ academic abilities but also their character and values. He emphasized
the significance of internships and community engagement, highlighting ASU’s
commitment to being a responsible and responsive community partner.
In essence, Dr. Shangraw’s visit serves as a reaffirmation of the
enduring partnership between Arizona State University, Cintana Education, and
Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao. Together, they continue to shape the
educational journey of Filipino students, providing them with a holistic,
globally relevant, and transformative learning experience.
