Hiring reputation by programme

Dental + Optometry

CEU graduates dominate PHL dental and optometry markets:

• Private practice (most graduates)
• Hospital positions
• Vision care chains (Sarabia Optical, Owndays)
• Overseas pathways (US, Canada, Saudi, UAE)

Typical entry-level CEU graduates with PRC licence:

• Dentist: ₱40,000-₱70,000/month (associate)
• Optometrist: ₱30,000-₱55,000/month
• Pharmacist: ₱28,000-₱45,000/month

• Entry-level: ₱20,000-₱35,000/month

Cost of a CEU education

CEU tuition + fees: ₱60,000-₱130,000 per semester depending on programme. Health sciences run higher.

4-year total (non-DMD): ₱480,000-₱900,000.

DMD 6-year total: ₱1.5-₱2.0M.

Cost-adjusted value

For health sciences (especially dental + optometry), CEU is excellent value — strong PRC pass rates, established hospital partnerships, recognisable credential.

For other programmes, CEU is reasonable but not differentiated from other Tier-2 private universities.
