If you have opened De La Salle University's degree programmes page and felt overwhelmed, there is a reason. DLSU publishes every valid double-degree combination as its own line item, so a page that lists maybe a hundred distinct degrees runs to several hundred entries. Strip out the combinations and the picture is manageable.
Below are the single degrees DLSU publishes for AY 2026-2027, grouped by college, followed by how the double-degree tracks actually work.

Tañada-Diokno School of Law
- BA Legal Studies and Sustainable Development. DLSU states the first two years are taken in Manila and the second two years at the Rufino campus in BGC.
Laguna campus
Laguna is not a smaller copy of Manila. Several of its programmes exist nowhere else in the university.
College of Computer Studies: BS Computer Science, BS Information Technology, BS Interactive Entertainment major in Game Development, BS Interactive Entertainment major in Game Art and Design, BS Data Science.
College of Liberal Arts: BS Psychology, BA Psychology, BA Sports Studies, BA Philippine Studies major in Filipino in Internet Studies.
College of Science: BS Premed Physics, BS Applied Physics, BS Human Biology, BS Biology major in Medical Biology, BS Chemistry major in Food Science.
Gokongwei College of Engineering: BS Civil Engineering, BS Computer Engineering, BS Electrical Engineering, BS Biomedical Engineering, BS Aeronautical Engineering, BS Mobility Engineering, BS Industrial Engineering with specialisation in Data Analytics.
Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business: BS Business Management with specialisation in Business Analytics, BS Entrepreneurship (Challenge Based Learning), BS Financial Engineering, BS Management Accounting with specialisation in Business Analytics.
Carlos L. Tiu School of Economics: BS Applied Economics and Data Science.
School of Innovation and Sustainability: BS Materials Science and Engineering.
Tañada-Diokno School of Law: BA Legal Studies and Sustainable Development, first two years in Laguna and the last two at Rufino.
Read the campus notes carefully before you apply. DLSU marks several programmes as split: BS Interactive Entertainment and BS Biomedical Engineering are two years in Manila then two in Laguna; BS Data Science and BS Applied Economics and Data Science are two years in Laguna then two in Manila; BS Business Management with Business Analytics is six trimesters in Manila then four in Laguna. Where you live for the next four years is part of the programme choice.
How the double degrees work
Two tracks account for most of the length of DLSU's published list.
LIA-COM pairs an AB from the College of Liberal Arts with a BS from the Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business. The liberal arts side includes Behavioral Sciences, Development Studies, History, Literature in its three majors, Organizational Communication, Communication Arts, Philosophy, Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence, Political Science, Psychology, Southeast Asian Studies, Philippine Studies, and the four International Studies majors. The business side includes Advertising Management, Applied Corporate Management, Accountancy, Management of Financial Institutions, Legal Management, Business Management, Marketing Management, and Entrepreneurship. DLSU lists each pairing individually.
ECN-BUS pairs an economics degree with a business degree: BS Applied Economics major in Industrial Economics, BS Applied Economics major in Financial Economics, or AB major in Economics, each combined with one of seven business programmes.
Practically, this means the application form asks for a specific combination, not "liberal arts plus business." Decide the pairing before you apply.
Admission: the DCAT
DLSU admits first-year college applicants through the DLSU College Admission Test (DCAT). The structure of the cycle, based on what DLSU publishes on its undergraduate admissions pages:
- A single long application window that opens roughly a year ahead of enrolment and closes about two and a half months before testing.
- On-campus testing at the Manila campus and, on a separate date, the Laguna campus.
- Provincial testing hosted at partner schools. DLSU has published sites in Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Bacolod, Tacloban, Tuguegarao, Bohol, Albay, Zamboanga del Sur, Nueva Ecija, Palawan, Pangasinan, Occidental Mindoro, Baguio, Pampanga, Ilocos Norte, and Batangas. Provincial application deadlines are earlier than the Manila deadline and vary by site.
- Online testing, local and international. DLSU requires online examinees to attend a mock online test before the actual exam date.
Exam dates, deadlines, and the list of provincial hosts change every cycle, and DLSU publishes them on its own admissions pages. Do not plan around dates you read anywhere else, including here. Our DLSU entrance exam guide covers the application mechanics, and entrance exams compared puts the DCAT beside the other major tests.
One more thing that trips people up: DLSU runs on trimesters. Its admissions calendar lists separate Term 1, Term 2 and Term 3 cycles for transferees and second-degree applicants, each with its own application period, testing date, results date, and confirmation window. First-year college admission runs on the annual DCAT cycle.
What DLSU publishes about cost
DLSU is one of the private universities that actually publishes a tuition estimate. Its Office of Admissions and Scholarships released a Projected Tuition and Fees for Incoming First-Year College Students, AY 2025-2026, covering Term 1 of that year. It gives an average tuition and fees figure per college:
| College | Average tuition and fees, Term 1 AY 2025-2026 |
|---|---|
| Br. Andrew Gonzalez FSC College of Education | ₱74,000 |
| College of Liberal Arts | ₱81,000 |
| College of Computer Studies | ₱82,000 |
| Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business | ₱86,000 |
| Gokongwei College of Engineering | ₱88,000 |
| Carlos L. Tiu School of Economics | ₱93,000 |
| College of Science | ₱95,000 |
| Tañada-Diokno School of Law | ₱96,000 |
Two caveats DLSU states itself. These are projections, and the assessment is subject to adjustment based on the student's academic load, including added or dropped laboratory courses and any Foundation or Advanced Placement exemptions. And because DLSU is on a trimester calendar, a per-term figure is not an annual figure.
For a longer treatment, see our DLSU tuition fee guide and the Ateneo versus La Salle tuition comparison.
What DLSU does not publish
- Cut-off scores or a published passing mark for the DCAT. There is none on the admissions pages.
- Per-programme quotas. Not published.
- A guarantee that your first choice programme is what you get. Application forms ask for programme choices, which implies ranking, and DLSU does not publish how those are resolved.
- Current-cycle tuition at the time you are reading this. The published sheet is dated to a specific academic year. Ask the Office of Admissions and Scholarships for the current one rather than trusting an older figure, including the table above.
Contact for the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, as published: Second Floor, Henry Sy, Sr. Hall, De La Salle University, 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila, and [email protected].
