NCPAG 3-year Plans and Programs

  • EDNA ESTIFANIA A. CO,DPA
  • Professor and Dean

My term as dean of the UP NCPAG officially began in August 2010 and shall end in July 2013.  The three-year term challenges the dean to be a brilliant academic leader as well as an effective administrator and resource mobilizer.  Such dual responsibility packs the deanship with enormous challenges.


I am trying to respond to the twin challenges of the deanship, and therefore, in the three-year plan (2010-2013) of the UP NCPAG, the college tries to collectively define the mission of an academic institution that parallels its avowed vision, namely:


“The NCPAG envisions a public service founded on competence and compassion, integrity and leadership, and on values of public interest and high ethical standard.  It commits itself to serve the nation by initiating and promoting the requisite reforms in governance.  To these ends, it seeks to build and maintain a highly qualified faculty and staff and a well-equipped, pro-active organization.”

My idea of the 3 years of the NCPAG in 2010 thru 2013 is that the college continues to hone its proficiency in the academic function of public administration, as it also significantly contributes to the changing political environment of the nation and of the world.  I hope to see NCPAG sail on as the leading academic institution in the country in the field of public administration. As it does so, I hope that the college could also engage in the life of the nation, the community, and the world by contributing to the practice of public administrators, policy makers, and citizens as leaders.

The three-year plan and program of the college is called, “Public Administration as Intellectual Tradition and as Engagement in the Life of the Community and of the Nation," which you will find below.


I hope our alumni, friends, and the public would identify with and support us as we journey in these three years.
