NU under SM on its way to being truly national
National University (NU) is celebrating its 125th anniversary, underscoring its position as a significant private, non-sectarian, co-educational institution in the Philippines.
Under the leadership of Hans T. Sy, Chairman of SM Prime Holdings and NU's Board of Trustees, the university is experiencing transformative growth.
NU President and CEO Renato Carlos H. Ermita Jr. reported a current student population of 70,000, with projections to reach 85,000 in the next academic year and 100,000 by 2027.
This expansion aligns with SM's vision to make NU a truly national university, leading to the establishment of new campuses across the country.
Since 2018, NU has been implementing a 10-year plan to open 20 campuses, with recent additions in Mall of Asia, Fairview, East Ortigas, Las Piñas, and Cebu.
Many of these new campuses are strategically located within or adjacent to SM malls to ensure security and accessibility to transportation hubs.
