Our Lady of Fatima University (OLFU) is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational basic and higher education institution in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila, Philippines. It also offers basic education and secondary education programs.
It was established in 1973 by Jose Olivares and his son-in-law, Dr. Vicente M. Santos Sr. OLFU currently 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.
