In contrast to the Philippine government's implementation of the K+12 basic education program which adds up and additional 2 years of senior high education after graduating of a student from high school, has resulted for the university to re-organize and merge its tertiary schools and colleges. The College of Nursing and College of Pharmacy and Medical Technology merged becoming College of Health and Allied Medical Professions (CHAMP), the College of Architecture and Design and College of Engineering as College of Technology (COT), and the College of Arts and Sciences and Education as College of Liberal Arts, Sciences and Education (CLASE). The College of Law on the other hand maintained its structure while the College of Business Administration and Accountancy has been renamed as College of Commerce.
