University of Perpetual Help System Dalta

University of Perpetual Help System Dalta is a private university in the Philippines.

The university was founded in 1975 by Dr. Jose P. Rizal Jr., a prominent Filipino businessman and philanthropist. Dr. Rizal Jr. envisioned a university that would provide quality education to students from all walks of life, aiming to create opportunities for those who might otherwise be marginalized. He believed that education was the key to social and economic progress, and his vision laid the groundwork for an institution dedicated to uplifting communities through learning.

In the early years, the university was a small institution with only a few hundred students. However, it quickly grew in size and reputation, thanks in part to its innovative curriculum and dedicated faculty. In 1981, the university was granted university status by the Philippine government, marking a significant milestone in its development. This new status allowed it to offer a wider range of programs and degrees, further enhancing its appeal to prospective students and establishing its presence in the higher education landscape.

In the 1990s, the university began to expand its reach beyond the Philippines. It established campuses in other parts of the country, as well as in the United States and the United Kingdom, reflecting its ambition to become a global institution. This expansion allowed the university to serve a more diverse student population, fostering cross-cultural exchange and enriching the educational experience for all its students.

Today, the university is one of the leading universities in the Philippines. It is known for its excellent academic programs, its commitment to research, and its strong international partnerships, which facilitate collaboration and innovation across disciplines. The university has a long history of producing successful graduates who have gone on to make significant contributions to society, embodying the values of leadership and service that Dr. Rizal Jr. championed in his vision for the institution.
