These rankings highlight ASSCAT’s deep commitment to leadership that inspires change, programs that place students first, and an institutional culture anchored on honesty and ethical governance.

What sets this recognition apart is that WURI does not measure universities by prestige or tradition—but by real-world impact. ASSCAT’s inclusion reflects its continuous efforts to redefine the role of a public higher education institution: not merely as a center for academic learning, but as an active driver of community transformation, responsible leadership, and inclusive growth in the region and beyond.

This achievement is a product of strategic leadership under College President Dr. Joy C. Capistrano, with the support of the Vice Presidents, and the dedicated team led by Dr. Vivian Peligro, Director of the International Relations and External Linkages Affairs Office, who spearheaded ASSCAT’s participation in the WURI global evaluation.

ASSCAT likewise honors the contributions of its hardworking faculty, staff, student leaders, and alumni who embody the College’s shared values of innovation, excellence, and service.

As ASSCAT steps further onto the global stage, it carries with it the aspirations of its province, the spirit of collaboration, and its unwavering belief in education as a force for progress.

Congratulations, ASSCAT!

To God be the highest glory!
