Setting the pace for the next generation of Filipino architects are two recent graduates who secured spots in the prestigious top 10, namely Johann Lance Nalo (7th place, 87.70%) and Raia Jillian Alcantara (9th place, 87.50%).

In a demonstration of the Carolinian standard of sustained excellence, the University posted an impressive 96.43% passing rate, with 27 out of 28 examinees successfully hurdling the rigorous two-day national board exam. This performance stands significantly above the national passing average of 82.09%, where 1,998 out of 2,434 examinees across the country qualified for licensure.

The success of these 27 new professionals is a shared victory. The University extends its deepest gratitude to the mentors, families, and friends whose unwavering support provided the foundation for this remarkable journey.

CONGRATULATIONS to our new Carolinian Architects!
