Ciencia y Virtud

Centro Escolar University’s maxim is Ciencia y Virtud which simply means Science and Virtue.  This states that students of this university are not only trained in their academic aspects but also in Values Education. Not all universities offer this kind of learning experience. CEU makes sure that the students that they produce will not only bring pride and success to the country but will also contribute into spreading good values to every person they will come across with.

                This is actually a good choice for a university maxim because it’s true that a good student will be a better citizen of this country if his/her academic performance was not the only thing monitored and improved during his/her college life but also the values part. The university’s goal is to have their students maintain a high standard of learning as well as a good principle to follow.

                When a student constantly has a good principle and maintains the values learned at home and in school, he/she will be able to have a clear goal and have it achieved. This is what CEU wants their students to be like. College is never easy. There come all the hardships, challenges, tests and so on. Faith is actually tested in this stage of growing up. I said that because of all the things needed to be accomplished in college, students may tend to forget the main reason why they are in their position; that is God. I know that not all students studying in the university are Catholics but religion does not matter as long as students keep their minds set and virtues or values safely secured in the heart.

                Truly anything is possible with the Almighty Father. Also, anything is possible if we believe so. We can do all things with the right decisions, right timing and faith in God and ourselves. That’s just so simple! Centro Escolar University did not want to have a maxim that is too complicated for students to follow. That’s it, Ciencia y Virtud or Science and Virtue. Very simple to understand and might as well follow. Students may have a hard time getting things accomplished but as long as this maxim will not be forgotten, graduating will be the one to easily reach out.
