Philippine Women’s University (PWU) is a private, non-sectarian academic institution founded in 1919 with the
goal to
empower women through higher education. It was one of the few schools in Manila that accepts female students during its time. But today, the school
now accepts male enrollees. The institution offers basic education from preschool to senior high at the
Jose Abad Santos Memorial School (JASMS) in Manila and Quezon City. Meanwhile, its undergraduate to post-graduate degree programs are offered in its main campus.
The PWU is composed of fourteen academic schools that offer programs in
Arts and Sciences, Fine Arts and Design, Music, Business Education, Food Technology, Education, International Relations and Diplomacy, Hospitality Management, Medical Technology, Nursing, Nutrition, Pharmacy, Social Work, and
Tourism. In addition to these programs, the PWU also provides special programs that include
distance learning and the
Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP).
