The UP Open University (UPOU) is developing a new associate program which is the Associate in Arts in Digital Entrepreneurship (AADE).

The Digital Entrepreneurship program is a two-year undergraduate program designed to be the undergraduate program of choice among aspiring and practicing entrepreneurs who value excellence in education and their practice, and those who want to remain competitive in the e-commerce job market.
