Welcome to the Lyceum of the Philippines University! You join us at a truly exciting time in the history, when we are in the thick preparations for our yearlong 60th foundation anniversary celebration in 2012. We’re making sure this milestone goes beyond a mere sentimental recollection of what LPU has achieved in the past six decades. This, we have painstakingly worked to meet goals that are meant to secure LPU’s position as a leading nationalistic institution of learning – competitive, relevant, responsive to the special challenges of the times.
We have secured ISO 9001:2008 Certification from the Societe General de Surveillance (SGS). We have been granted Autonomous Status by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). We were also granted Level 3 Reaccredited Status by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) for Hotel and Restaurant Management, Liberal Arts, Science and Business Administration Programs. LPU is also the first to attain Level 3 Reaccredited HRM Program in the country.
We’re ranked No.1 Nationwide in the October 2009 and October 2010 Customs Broker Licensure Examinations; and ranked No.3 Nationwide in the November 2009 Nurse Licensure Examinations. And we applaud our Board Topnotchers in Nursing (July 2010) and Customs Administration (October 2010).
Beyond academics, you can cheer your hearts out for our dear Pirates at the NCAA where we are guest members in this popular, well-loved League’s 87th Season.
In a few months, and within weeks of each other, we will inaugurate both The Bayleaf and the LPU Culinary Institute. The bayleaf Hotel, with its 57 well-appointed rooms, will offer the public gracious hospitality never yet experienced within Intramuros’ historic walls. The modern 52,000 sq.ft. LPU Culinary Institute, on the other hand, with its accomplished mentors and state-of-the-art kitchens and equipment, will offer cooking enthusiasts world-class culinary courses.
Yes, you’ve come at the right time and the right place to begin your journey to excellence.
