DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY-MANILA

De La Salle University-Manila serves as a vital resource of church and nation by developing Christian achievers through a tradition of excellence in academics, forward-looking research, and involved community service. DLSU-Manila is a Catholic co-educational university established in 1911 by the Brothers of the Christian Schools, as inspired by the faith and zeal of St. John Baptist de La Salle. While it has grown through the years, its vision essentially remains the same as when it was first conceptualized more than 90 years ago.

Today, it stands as one of the leading universities in the Philippines. It is a recognized Center of Excellence in English, Chemical Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Literature, Filipino, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). It carries the distinction of being the only Center of Excellence in Chemical and Mechanical Engineering in the country. On top of these, DLSU-Manila has been named CHED Zonal Research Center to spearhead research projects in 134 other higher education institutions in the National Capital Region. It has consistently topped the national board examinations in engineering and accountancy. Moreover, its College of Computer Studies under the DLSU Professional Schools, Inc. is the country’s acknowledged leader in computer science.

The synergy among its responsive academic programs, competent pool of faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and well-rounded students has consistently ranked DLSU-Manila among the premier institutions of higher learning and academic research in Asia and the Pacific.
