Description of Logo

Since 2014, the Dr. Mariano Que College of Pharmacy has reflected the essence and values of pharmaceutical education and practice, which is richly embodied in its logo and its elements:

The Dr. Mariano Que College of Pharmacy (DMQCP), one of the eight degree-granting colleges of DLSMHSI, offers the Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (BS Pharmacy) program, a four-year baccalaureate degree program tailored for students pursuing careers in various dynamic fields of the pharmaceutical profession. The program received its ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance Certification on September 6, 2021, affirming the college’s commitment to harmonizing educational standards and ongoing quality improvement efforts to align with universities in the ASEAN region. Graduates of the program undergo comprehensive training leading to careers in community pharmacy and public health, hospital and clinical pharmacy, pharmaceutical technology and manufacturing, pharmaceutical regulatory industry, drug discovery and development, and related pharmaceutical sciences.

In July 2018, DMQCP relocated to a new building donated by its major partner, Mercury Drug Corporation, boasting top-of-the-line laboratory equipment, lecture rooms, instructional laboratories, and facilities that complement its teaching and research operations. The College proudly celebrates its alumni's achievements in the Pharmacy Licensure Examination (PhLE), with the inaugural batch achieving a 100% passing rate in March 2019, ranking the College 1st among the top performing schools in Category B (with 15-49 examinees). Subsequent exams further solidified the College's reputation as a top-performing pharmacy school (ranked 4th in June 2021, 2nd in April 2022, 10th in November 2023), with consistent exemplary performance and three topnotchers produced within a short period (November 2021, April 2022 and April 2023 PhLE). This success is attributed to rigorous academic training, dedicated teachers, practical partners, and innovative initiatives.



The Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (BSP) is a four-year degree program comprising a total of 201 credit units and 1,415 hours of professional courses. The program includes a blend of general education courses, with practical applications in pharmacy practice, and professional courses designed to equip graduates with essential workplace competencies.

Foundation courses in pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutics and the life sciences will enhance the understanding of pharmaceutical product development and their applications in pharmacy practice. 

Internship programs in the last year of study involve deploying students to different CHED-accredited affiliation establishments covering a minimum of 1,200 hours. The intern/student will be exposed to a variety of opportunities in practice areas that will prepare them for the different roles expected of them upon graduation. The students will acquire 15 units of institutional courses in religious education and interprofessional education and will also be expected to have finished and successfully defended undergraduate research (thesis).
