The liberal education program is the bedrock of university studies in UA&P.
The University focuses on developing the whole person, as well as combines breadth of learning and professional specialization, in its educational programs. Our students go through a strong liberal education program in their first years in the University. Thereafter, they begin to take subjects in their chosen field of specialization. If they choose a five-year program and meet all its academic requirements, they may graduate with a master’s degree in five years.
As they take up these various areas of knowledge, the students are trained to look at ideas with a critical eye, an analytical mind, and ethical judgment, and to understand issues from differing points of view. And as the subjects are taught using a multidisciplinary approach, the students learn to make connections across disciplines and see the big picture while understanding the complexity of each part. The liberal arts program also trains students to communicate ideas clearly, precisely and persuasively in speech and in writing.

Pio Pantaleon Publishes in Quién: Revista de Filosofía Personalista
The Humanities Program proudly congratulates Mr. Francisco S. Pantaleon, Class Valedictorian and Magna Cum Laude, graduate of Master of Arts in Humanities, Class of 2025, for his recent publication in Quien: Revista de Filosofía Personalista (July 2025).
His article, entitled “The Idea of Community in Dietrich von Hildebrand and Julián Marías,” was published as a single-author work, a Scopus-indexed paper before graduating, making him the only UA&P student to have accomplished this scholarly achievement.
In recognition of his outstanding research, Mr. Pantaleon was also awarded the Excellence in Research Award during the Humanities Program Recognition Night held last August 2, 2025.
We warmly congratulates Mr. Pantaleon on these remarkable accomplishments and looks forward to his continued contributions to academic research and scholarship.

Testimonials
"I talked about my AB Humanities journey at UA&P’s Career Fair and how it has shaped me to become the published author that I am today. I emphasized how my Humanities background has helped me reinvent myself when I got sick and became a PWD. Having a Humanities background has propelled me to explore my skills in writing and conceptualizing my books so that I can fully focus on my health. I will always be here to share how my UA&P life has empowered me through the years. I really meant what I said in my speech, that my college era was the happiest time of my life."
