Programs
The University of Baguio’s National Service Training Program is a one-year formative process tailored primarily for male and female first year college students. Its primary aim is to develop in each student:
- civic consciousness and defense preparedness;
- ethics of service;
- nationalism; and
- being a person-of-service-to-others:
- in the University and the City of Baguio
- in the area where they shall have their community immersions, and
- in the local community/Barangay they come from.
The very objective of this program is to produce service-oriented NSTP graduates who are committed for the general welfare of the community.
It is the primal hope of the University of Baguio that UBians will make a difference in the lives of their fellow citizens, especially the youth and the underprivileged, by rendering valuable service if not initiating and sustaining local programs, through the lessons they learned from the NSTP.
UB students shall undergo service training in one of its three program components, namely:
- Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS), the bulk of the program of UB-NSTP.
- Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC).
- Literacy Training Service (LTS).
