SCHOOL OF LEADERSHIP AND ADVANCED STUDIES

RESEARCH AND EXTENSION

ALUMNI CONNECTION

The opening of the Wesleyan University-Philippines Graduate School was the brainchild of Dr. Roxy Lefforge, the institution’s third President. It was conceived shortly after she assumed office in 1952 in collaboration with some Methodist members who saw the need to offer an advance course in Education. Operation of the Graduate School started during the second semester of A.Y. 1952-1953 with thirty students. Today, the School of Leadership and Advanced Studies (SOLAS) stands as a hallmark of higher education in this part of Central Luzon and is the oldest Graduate School in Region III.

In A.Y. 2021-2022, WU-P implemented a verticalization of its degree programs. Hence, several programs at the Graduate School were transferred to various Colleges. At this time, SOLAS focuses on leadership, administration, and other innovative degree programs that seek to equip responsible citizens who play important regional, national, or global roles.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

For the glory of God, SOLAS equips dutiful men and women with academic and leadership competencies relevant to the times.

As a graduate school, SOLAS contributes to national and global progress through graduates equipped with holistic education and kingdom values.

As a unit of Wesleyan University-Philippines, SOLAS aims toward the holistic development of persons and professionals, the expansion of knowledge through scholarly research, and the innovation of initiatives and strategies that address the needs of contemporary society.
