What started as a school with only 15 young boys and humble resources is now considered as among the Philippines’ top institutions of higher learning. Over 7,000 students from around the country and the globe trust Silliman with their future.
The University is located on a beautiful 62-hectare campus with the sea at its frontage and the majestic Cuernos de Negros Mountains in its background. It is an hour away by plane from the bustling capital of the country, Manila.
At Silliman University, we see our success in the future of our students.
It is our mission to provide the highest quality Christian education to
those who quest for knowledge. We open our Gates to both Filipino and foreign
students, and continue to commit to offer them no less than an education
that leads to a career which concept of fulfillment and success involves
faithful service to God and fellowmen.
It is the conductive residential campus life that sets Silliman University
apart from the other leading universities in the Philippines. Corollary
to this sense of community is the so-called “Silliman Spirit” –an atmosphere
of personal closeness, warmth, friendship and concern that can only be
found in an institution that aims for the holistic development of the person.
We journey with our students at Silliman. But it is our belief that although graduation day marks the end of that journey, their experience on campus is one that will forever guide them and serve as their source of hope and inspiration when they embark on their individual journeys.
