Institution Profile
The Postgraduate Program of Universitas Negeri Manado carries a long and dedicated history. Its journey began in the early 1970s, when the institution was still known as the Institut Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan (IKIP) Manado — the Manado Institute of Teacher Training and Education. During that era, the seeds of postgraduate education were first planted through the establishment of a non-regular doctoral program, reflecting an early commitment to developing high-quality human resources in the field of education across the North Sulawesi region. A pivotal milestone was reached on September 13, 2000, when through Presidential Decree Number 127 of 2000, IKIP Manado was officially transformed into Universitas Negeri Manado (UNIMA). This historic moment did not merely change the institution's name and status — it also substantially strengthened the structural, academic, and institutional foundations of the Postgraduate Program, opening a new chapter in the advancement of higher education in the region. Today, the Postgraduate Program of UNIMA is centered in the City of Tomohon and offers a range of study programs at both the master's (S2) and doctoral (S3) levels, including Science Education, Mathematics Education, Sports Education, Educational Management, and Public Administration. Each program is designed with a curriculum that is regularly updated to respond to the evolving needs of society and the advancement of knowledge at the global level. Carrying the spirit that has burned brightly since the IKIP era through to the modern university age, the Postgraduate Program of UNIMA remains firmly committed to being a center of academic excellence — producing human resources who are outstanding, innovative, adaptive, and competitive at both the national and international levels. The program is open to all members of society who are determined to pursue advanced study and contribute meaningfully to the progress of education and national development.
