Saint Louis University is the largest university north of Manila with more than 30,000 students (not counting the elementary and high school) as of academic year 2016-2017. It is centrally situated in a six-hectare campus in the heart of Baguio City and has more than 30 buildings.
The university offers programs at the elementary, secondary, undergraduate and graduate levels. The university comprises nine schools or colleges with campuses throughout the Baguio metropolitan area. SLU's main campus is in A. Bonifacio Street where the seven schools or colleges are housed while the Maryheights Campus houses the School of Accountancy and Business Management.
One of these schools is the school of nursing. The school was inaugurated in the year 1976. Since then, it has produced quality and competent nursing professionals all throughout the country and even abroad.
One of the best features of the school, is its establishment of the Mobile Nursing Clinic (MNC) extension service in 1979. The primary aim of this pioneer program was to alleviate the state of health care system in depressed or neglected communities by sharing skills on how to manage their own health programs. An institution in itself, the multi-awarded MNC is now considered as the first and longest-running college-based extension program of the university.
In 2008, the school also launched the SLU-Nursing Review Center which also caters graduates from other university. One of the assurance that this center provides is a higher chance of passing the Nursing Licensure Examination.
The school maintains national and international linkages which are vital to expanding skills and knowledge, enhancing the curriculum, bringing in resources, and promoting trans-cultural learning and appreciation among its faculty and students.
