Doctor of Library and Information Science in the Philippines

A Doctor of Library and Information Science (DLIS) program might soon be offered in the Philippines for the first time.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) recently conducted a site visit at the University of Perpetual Help System Laguna (UPHSL) to evaluate the university's application to offer the program. This visit is a critical step in the approval process, as CHED assesses the proposed curriculum, faculty qualifications, available facilities, and institutional support to ensure the program meets rigorous academic standards.

If approved, the DLIS program at UPHSL would be a landmark achievement for Philippine higher education, potentially paving the way for advanced research and scholarship in the field of library and information science within the country.
