It is worth noting that the platform addresses challenges often faced by those who are willing to obtain a college degree but are hindered by certain limitations.
The online learning experience by Mapúa UOx benefits those who are geographically restricted or those who are unable to relocate or regularly visit the campus due to location, work setup or personal circumstances.
