MLQU School of Architecture Celebrates New Architects

Manuel L. Quezon University (MLQU) proudly congratulates the newest passers of the Architectural Licensure Examination, achieving an 85.71% passing rate in the board exams conducted by the Professional Regulation Commission from January 22 to 24. This outstanding performance underscores the School of Architecture’s sustained commitment to academic rigor, mentorship, and outcomes-driven professional preparation.

This milestone reflects an encouraging upward trend in board licensure performance across degree programs requiring licensure — an institutional priority for MLQU. The University has been deliberate in aligning board subjects within the curriculum, ensuring that core competencies are reinforced early, integrated consistently, and reviewed comprehensively. Structured review components, faculty-led coaching, and exam-oriented learning strategies are embedded throughout the program so students graduate prepared, confident, and exam-ready.

At the heart of this success is MLQU’s strong mentoring culture. Faculty members work closely with students — inside the studio, in review sessions, and through individualized guidance — to cultivate not only technical mastery but also professional discipline and resilience. This approach recognizes a simple truth that guides the University’s mission: the success of our students is our success.

As MLQU continues to strengthen curriculum alignment, enhance review mechanisms, and deepen mentorship, the School of Architecture remains steadfast in producing graduates who meet — and exceed — the standards of the profession. To our newly licensed architects: your achievement brings pride to the entire MLQU community. Congratulations, and may you build with excellence, integrity, and purpose.
