FOUR undergraduate programs of the University of Santo Tomas were given five-year re-certification by the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations University Network-Quality Assurance.

The accreditation placed the programs at par with the education standards set by quality universities in the ASEAN region.

The four programs are Bachelor of Secondary Education, BS in Medical Technology, BS in Pharmacy, and Bachelor of Special Needs Education.

“This is a recognition of the quality of the programs that were assessed in October 2023. Congratulations to the College of Education and the Faculty of Pharmacy!” UST said.
