Subject: Major Curriculum Review**
It has been five years since the University had a major revision of its undergraduate curricula, responding to the K12 reform in the Philippine education system. With the first cohort of the 2018 curriculum having completed their degree programs, all departments are enjoined to conduct a major review of their undergraduate curricula, following the university’s outcomes-based quality framework, and taking into consideration the following:
- The Expected Lasallian Graduate Attributes version 2.0;
- Conduct of hybrid learning;
- A crediting system prescribing a 2.5 workhour equivalent for each lecture unit. Unit allocation for thesis and practicum courses should adhere to the said equivalency, and their assessment formula adjusted to avoid inflating the cost of taking these courses;
- Providing avenues for interdisciplinarity, including for thesis projects;
- Arrangements for possible international mobility;
- Emerging trends in the respective and related fields, benchmarking with universities abroad;
- Outcomes of the current program;
- Stakeholder feedback and requirements
Departments are encouraged to document the process as these will be needed for upcoming AUN-QA assessments and PAASCU, ABET, AACSB accreditations.
Thank you very much.
