Not needing further introduction, UP is a brand in itself which stands up for the name. Although at its infancy, started operation during the year 1999, the school is catching up with other universities in most if not all academic standards in the locality. UP Mindanao (often misinterpreted as UP Mintal) promotes a strong sense of nationalism among the members of its academe as well as the rigid emphasis on academic and intellectual cultivation. The grassy landscape and ever popular Oblation illuminates the consciousness of the academic community which has a highly western framework. University of the Philippines, though 3rd in this ranking , has a sure shot of climbing up the ladder in the coming years. The Academic Programs  of UP Mindanao are still limited but is undoubtedly breaking ground. It’s Anthropology program, for one, takes part in furthering understanding the local cultures, tribes, and other anthropological issues in Mindanao. The path of UP Mindanao, is one of striving for excellence, strong sense of nationalism and community involvement.
