If you’re unsure of which Philippine architecture school is for you, these rankings can help. Our ranking of the country’s top architecture schools has been extended to weighted passing percentage in 2017 and other criteria.
The overall ranking this year for architecture features just 12 schools with 20 or more examinees and with at least 70% weighted passing percentage.
The ranking uses the same performance indicators as the Local Pulse School Rankings, however the weightings for number of examinees were adjusted to reflect programs with less examinees. The other parts of full methodology can be found here.
Other possible factors which are possibly secondary variables in nature in determining the best Philippine schools for architecture are included in the disclaimer page. Factors such as international linkages, community involvement, employer reputation, research outputs, and research citations per faculty are not part of this study. These variables are assumed to be assessed by accrediting agencies such as PACUCOA, PAASCU, and AACCUP.
