Rationale
The CLA thematic clusters are communities of practice, wherein scholars, students, thought leaders, and institutional partners come together to engage in dynamic dialogues, formulate ideas, and engage in cooperative academic initiatives and research projects for the benefit of society.
All in all, we have 6 thematic clusters starting this academic year, which aim to integrate academics, research, and service-learning in our knowledge production and in our commitment to respond to pressing social issues and global challenges. These thematic clusters are interdisciplinary, collaborative, service-driven, and research-oriented.

De La Salle University
Manila Campus
De La Salle University has been listed in the prestigious Times Higher Education Subject Rankings 2024 for Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences. This is the first time that DLSU entered the Arts & Humanities ranking, securing a place in the 600+ bracket and making it as the leading private university in the Philippines in this category. This is indeed a remarkable milestone for the College of Liberal Arts as this is an affirmation of its pursuit to produce outstanding publications and creative works that enrich our culture, define our identity, and embrace our humanity.
For 5 consecutive years, DLSU has been recognized as one of the best universities in the field of Social Sciences and has recently been placed within the 800+ bracket. Congratulations to all the faculty, students, and fellow administrators for their exceptional contributions and commitment in realizing this goal.
Animo La Salle!
