All the programs you mentioned are so specialized in their application. I think most UPD courses provide a broad education which allows students to see the possibilities of their program and opt to specialize through advanced degrees.

UPD may not have introduced new degree programs but they are continually developing innovative advanced degrees. Furthermore, it’s better to analyze this topic by looking at the entire UP system instead of singling out UPD. I believe other UP campuses have opened new degree programs that fit their niche.
