Message from the Dean

CEFP Dean ParaisoThank you for visiting the CEFP Website.  I hope you will find these pages informative, valuable and interesting whether you are already studying, or planning to take up one of our academic programs, or simply browsing to know a little bit about the College.

May I take, then, this opportunity to welcome you to PUP in general, a total university, and to CEFP in particular, branded as the �College of the Champions�.

Our College focuses on the holistic development and empowerment of students by providing opportunities that enhance academic experience and leadership.  Learning is not confined within the four walls of a classroom.  Other kinds of opportunities abound.  Students participate in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities ranging from on-the-job training, varied academic contests, debate, extemporaneous speaking, essay writing, research, campus publication, and seminars and the like, to athletics, culture and the arts, student organization, community outreach, and spiritual enrichment.  The challenges of these activities contribute to the learning and growth of the students.

We have highly qualified faculty members who are committed to quality teaching and research.  Most of them are holders of masters� and doctorate degrees.  The academic excellence of the college rests on the talent, enthusiasm, dynamism and drive of its dean, the department chairs, and faculty that are complemented by talented students as well as supportive University top management.

At CEFP, you can have a strong, rich, and memorable college life experience that will help you succeed in your chosen career and contribute to nation-building.

Again, Welcome to CEFP!

Dr. Melly L. Paraiso
