DE LA SALLE PHILIPPINES MISSION STATEMENT
Preamble
Deeply moved, as St. John Baptist de La Salle was, by the plight of the poor and
youth-at-risk, we, the members of the Lasallian schools in the Philippines, commit
ourselves to the Lasallian Mission of providing a human and Christian education to
the young, especially in schools, with the service of the poor as priority, in order to
evangelize and catechize, to promote peace and justice, accomplishing these
together as shared mission. We draw strength from the many Lasallians committed
to incarnating our charism in our country today to serve the needs of the Filipino
youth, especially those at risk.
VISION-MISSION STATEMENT
DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY – DASMARIÑAS
Vision
De La Salle University-Dasmariñas is a Filipino Catholic University established and
managed by the De La Salle Brothers and their lay partners in the historic province of Cavite in response to the needs of the Church and the Nation for human and Christian education, particularly the youth at risk. Guided by the Lasallian values of
Faith, Service, and Communion, the University participates meaningfully in the process of social transformation by forming God-centered, people-oriented, and patriotic persons who serve as responsible and professionally competent stewards of
creation.
Mission To realize this vision, the University shall strive to become a leading institution
nationally and globally in the integral formation of the youth by offering relevant, responsive, and community-oriented academic programs, research and extension
services, and promoting a keen sense of history, arts and culture. Following the footsteps of Saint John Baptist De La Salle, the University shall continue transforming itself into a caring community guided by Gospel values with a fervent
spirit of service, love for learning, and excellence through a holistic formation of its members.
Collegiate Thrust
The pursuit of knowledge for the purpose of edifying the human spirit can be
considered as one of the noblest of human endeavors. Where art and science meet, there is insight. This insight peers deep into the affairs of human beings both as individual and as a society, bringing us closer to understanding life itself.
The College of Liberal Arts and Communications (CLAC) envisions to become a center of ideas and virtues, a thrust fueled by its mission to attain ethical standards in
teaching, research, global partnerships, and community service.
6
As a resource for both the Church and nation, CLAC consistently upgrades the quality of instruction through faculty competency in the various fields of specialization. It
seeks to strengthen the culture of research in the areas of national and indigenous cultures, arts, governance, and well-being. It works alongside the institution in
furthering education through scholarship programs. It also provides community development projects relevant to the needs of the society. Above all, it strives to produce globally competitive graduates who are God-fearing, critical thinkers, and
experts in their disciplines and who would eventually be vital in the country’s work force.
CLAC Graduate Studies Objectives
The CLAC Graduate Studies seeks to strengthen and to maintain quality education focusing on community spirit and lifelong learning by:
keeping abreast with both modern trends in education espoused with time-tested methodologies that can develop quality graduates;
providing opportunities for faculty and students to engage extensively on
research; conducting classroom activities that can initiate proactive interaction and
utilization of higher level of thinking; and employing competent professors who have a deep commitment to human development.

VIII. GRADING SYSTEM
A. The grades of the students are computed based on the following criteria:
Midterm Period
Major Examination - 30%
Class Standing - 70% Total: 100%
Final Period
Major Examination - 30% Research Paper - 30%
Class Standing - 40%
Total: 100%
Transmutation Table:
Grade Equivalent % Equivalent
4.00 99-100
3.75 97-98
3.50 95-96
3.25 93-94
3.00 91-92
2.75
89-90
Passing grade for Doctoral program
2.50 87-88
Passing grade for Master’s program
Note: Grade lower than 87 is considered 0.00
14
Sample Computation:
% equivalent = _Raw Score____ x 50 + 50
Total Possible Score
Example: Quiz of 25 points
Score of student - 20 points
% equivalent =__20______ x 50 + 50 25
=90 = 2.75
The faculty assigns the components and weights in the computation of
the class standing (recitation, reaction/critique paper, research, oral & written reports, book review, self-made portfolio of readings and personal theories, other types of participation, quizzes, and other
requirements).
B. A grade of 0.00 (Failed) is given for the following
reasons: Inability to satisfy the minimum requirements of the
