Our Lady of Fatima University (OLFU) is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational basic and higher education institution. It has six campuses located in Valenzuela, Metro Manila, Quezon City, Antipolo, San Fernando, Pampanga, Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, and Santa Rosa, Laguna.

History

In 1967, Jose C. Olivares, with his son-in-law, Dr. Vicente M. Santos Sr., founded the Our Lady of Fatima Hospital in Valenzuela City. In 1973 he expanded the hospital to include a nursing college.

In 1979 the Fatima College of Medicine was established, with its pioneer batch graduating in 1983. In the 1990s the college diversified, starting programs in computer science, maritime education, education, psychology, biology, tourism and business.

The college became a university in December 2002, with Dr. Vicente M. Santos Sr. as its founding president.

The next years further saw an increase in infrastructure development. New buildings were established in the Valenzuela and Quezon City campuses, with additional nursing virtual laboratories and simulators. Fatima's College of Nursing was designated by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as a Center of Development in 2008. Fatima's expansion continued with the establishment of additional campuses in Antipolo, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, and Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

The university submitted itself to the CHED's Institutional Quality Assurance through Monitoring and Evaluation (IQuAME) in 2008. In 2009 it was placed in Category A(t) as a mature teaching university.

The CHED granted autonomous status to the university for five years from March 11, 2009 to March 30, 2014.

Accreditation

The Fatima College of Physical Therapy, Fatima College of Pharmacy, Fatima College of Hotel and Restaurant Management, Fatima College of Nursing and Fatima College of Dental Medicine programs are accredited by the Philippine Association of and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA).

Fatima University Medical Center and Virtual Laboratories

Near the College of Medicine is the Fatima University Medical Center, a 150-bed hospital on the university campus. The center is an institutional partner that serves as a teaching tertiary hospital.

Athletics

The 'Fatima Phoenix' commonly called Team Fatima are chosen athletes who compete in basketball, volleyball, badminton, taekwondo, cheerdancing, track and field, chess, billiards, and swimming. Their students represent the university in NAASCU, PRISAA and other competitions.
