The Bachelor of Arts Major in Communication Arts program aims to develop among students
a comprehensive understanding of the nature, basic theories, and applications of
communications.
The course curriculum is designed to train the students in the designing and creation
of multi-media products. Using a generalist approach, it enables them to gain knowledge
of and cultivate skills related to the various media, including print, radio, television,
theater and film. It allows them to experience the dynamics of interpersonal and
group communications, public relations, advertising, marketing, and information
technology.
With our country’s escalating problems on environmental degradation and widespread
poverty, the B.S. Environmental Planning and Management (EPM) course provides the
education needed to help us plan and manage a better future. It prepares students
for professional careers requiring skills and values on effective resource management,
efficient physical infrastructure and community growth, and responsible business
operations. EPM produces graduates who can plan and develop sustainable development
programs and viable business projects that are at the same time guided by ecological
principles and nurtures strong love and respect for nature and people.
To provide a more focused and well-directed career path for the EPM graduates, the
course has been framed into two (2) major tracks:
The Urban Planning and Green Architecture track,
which equips students with computer-aided planning and architectural skills on Geographic
Information System (GIS), AutoCAD, Correl, etc., backed-up with technical knowledge
on town planning, subdivision planning, utilities and infrastructure planning, waste
management technologies, and green architectural aesthetics and design techniques.
Graduates of this track are able to provide technical support to city and municipal
government in their urban design and sustainable environmental management works,
to real estate developers in planning and developing clean and green communities,
and to planning and consultancy firms in conducting urban and regional development
planning and sustainable environmental research works.
The Corporate Environmental Management track,
which equips students with technical knowledge on environmental quality standards,
pollution analysis and management techniques, and environmental cost accounting.
Graduates of this track can guide business companies to become compliant with government
requirements and international environmental standards while maintaining the viability
of their business operations. They can work with business companies in securing
their Environmental Compliance Certificates (ECC) from government, in performing
their corporate social responsibilities, and in registering with the International
Standards Organization (ISO) to become globally competitive..
The course curriculum is designed to train the students in the designing and creation
of multi-media products. Using a generalist approach, it enables them to gain knowledge
of and cultivate skills related to the various media, including print, radio, television,
theater and film. It allows them to experience the dynamics of interpersonal and
group communications, public relations, advertising, marketing, and information
technology.
The Bachelor of Arts major in Psychology program provides a thorough understanding
of the basic scientific principles in understanding human behavior and thinking
processes. It aims to turn out graduates who will join the country’s pool of experts
in human behavior and productivity enhancement, researchers in the behavioral sciences,
and a potent labor supply that can assist in bringing about economic development,
good governance, and national development.
The Bachelor of Science in Psychology programs incorporate more subjects in
the physical and biological sciences* to prepare students who wish to pursue medical
and paramedical courses upon graduation.
To provide a more focused and well-directed career path for the EPM graduates, the
course has been framed into two (2) major tracks:
The curricula of both programs AB and BS also give the student opportunities for
personal growth and the development of her potentials through faculty mentoring
in her area of interest in research. Because the approach is multi-disciplinary,
each student is also made to acquire positive traits and attitudes in the workplace,
and the nurturing of resourcefulness, creativity, and innovation in the context
of clinical, business, or organizational goals.
Graduates of this track are able to provide technical support to city and municipal
government in their urban design and sustainable environmental management works,
to real estate developers in planning and developing clean and green communities,
and to planning and consultancy firms in conducting urban and regional development
planning and sustainable environmental research works.
Graduates of both programs are ready to pursue graduate studies in Family Psychology,
at the Miriam College Graduate School or advance studies in psychology in other
graduate schools of any college or university to qualify in more specialized professions
in psychology.
The Bachelor of Science in Biology is designed as, but not limited to, a pre-medicine
course. The strength of the program lies on the comprehensive selection and sequences
of non-biology tool courses, biology core courses, and biology electives which bring
in trends and new developments in biology.
The Bachelor of Science in Biology program prepares students to be professional
biologists who:
- will pursue a Doctor of Medicine degree
- can undertake quality
- research and development work, and analytical/diagnostic-related laboratory test
in the various areas of Biology
- can be employed in government or non-government agencies which require the expertise
of a professional biologist
- can teach and undertake basic research in the tertiary level of academic institutions
Recognizing the impact of global leaps in information technology and the need for
the country to come up with a human resource pool that will fill in the demand requirements
of IT-aided operations in government and private businesses, Miriam College offers
the Associate in Computer Technology.
This 2-Year course offers the students a line-up of subjects aimed at developing
their skills and competencies in computer management, operations and software applications.
The 1-Year Pre-Certificate level develops the ability / skills of deaf students
in the basics of computer operations, prepares them to cope with normal classroom
conditions with subjects under the regular curriculum. The follow-on 2-Year course,
Associate in Computer Technology, is a specialized course that hopes to eventually
channel them into the mainstream of social and economic enterprises.
