LINGAYEN, Pangasinan, July 19 (PNA)--The Pangasinan State University
(PSU) has expanded many times over the last 33 years in fulfilling its
mission of giving quality and affordable collegiate education to the
youth of the province.
This was disclosed by Dr. Victoriano Estira,PSU president during the
university's 33rd foundation anniversary through a university-wide
celebration from July 16 to 20 at the PSU main campus here.
Governor Amado Espino Jr., was represented by Vice Governor Jose
Ferdinand Calimlim, as the guest of honor during the anniversary day
celebration Wednesday in Lingayen.
Estira said the latest expansion was the PSU Alaminos thru the support
of the city government headed by Mayor Hernani Braganza that started
three years ago, enrolling more than 1,500 students todate.
She said that PSU is set to open its college of law next year and its college of medicine in 2014.
At the same time, Estira announced that PSU has adjusted its tuition fee
rates a little as some private schools in Dagupan and Pangasinan are
complaining that the university is charging low tuition fee rates.
He said with low tuition fee rates, parents have no other recourse but
to send their children to PSU where they can save much while their kids
are being given quality education.
This move, he said, pleased private schools in the province because the
PSU is not competing as they are its partners in giving quality
education to the youth of Pangasinan.
The PSU has its other campuses in Sta. Maria, Urdaneta City, Bayambang,
San Carlos City, Binmaley and Infanta towns, aside from Lingayen and
Alaminos City. (PNA)
