Thus, the Graduate School is continuously nurturing and embracing the quality of education as revealed by the graduates. They are occupying supervisory and managerial job level positions. Education graduates are school supervisors and head teachers, while the MBA and MPM graduates are supervisors and executives. The graduate programs are responding to the needs of various industries.
