Nestled in the very heart of the City of Cebu, AERC offers students the experience of a small private college at a public cost. AERC provides students with an ideal learning environment, combining rigorous academic training with broad opportunities for learning outside the classroom.
 
AERC’s small size fosters a tight-knit community among students and faculty. The curriculum at AERC emphasizes the development of strong analytical and communication skills that prepares students for the workforce. We offer rigorous professional programs in environmental management and engineering, business administration and communications, and research opportunities in programs such as climate change, risk assessment, and industrial hygiene. Our educational philosophy is that students learn best by actively participating in their own education, and our curriculum provides opportunities for independent study, service learning, and study abroad. We provide several Universities linkages through transnational education.
