De La Salle University (Filipino: Pamantasang De La Salle, Unibersidad ng De La Salle), also known simply as La Salle and abbreviated as DLSU, is a private, Catholic research university run by the De La Salle Brothers
located in Taft Avenue, Malate, Manila, Philippines. It was established in 1911 as the De La Salle College (DLSC) in Nozaleda Street, Paco, Manila with Br. Blimond Pierre FSC serving as first director. The educational institution moved to its present location in 1921 to facilitate the increase in enrollment. The college was granted university status on February 19, 1975 and is the oldest constituent of De La Salle Philippines (DLSP), a network of 16 Lasallian institutions established in 2006 to replace the De La Salle University System.The university started as a boys' elementary and high school. In 1920, it began offering a two-year Associate in Arts Commerce program, which was later discontinued in 1931 in favor of a Bachelor of Science in Commerce program. DLSU currently offers coeducational undergraduate and graduate degree programs through its seven colleges and one school specializing in various disciplines, including business, engineering and liberal arts. Students and alumni from La Salle were previously referred to as Lasallites, but the term has since been changed to Lasallians. The patron of the university is St. Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, the patron saint of teachers and all those who work in the field of education. He is also the founder of the De La Salle Brothers and Lasallian educational institutions.DLSU is cited by the Philippine Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as a "Center of Excellence" in 14 of its programs, and a "Center of Development" in 5 of its programs. The university is also among the 40 institutions granted autonomous status by CHED as of 2010. Likewise, it is the first of the only two institutions granted the highest-level accreditation (Level IV) by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). The university is a member of several international university associations, including the ASEAN University Network (AUN) and International Association of Universities (IAU) as well as local organizations such as the South Manila Inter-Institutional Consortium.Presently, Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) ranks DLSU in the 801-1000 bracket of its 2021 World University Rankings and 156th on its Asian University Rankings. Times Higher Education (THE) included De La Salle University in its 2021 edition of Times Higher Education World University Rankings where DLSU was placed in the 801-1000 bracket, which also marked the university's first appearance in the rankings. It joined the University of the Philippines as the only two universities in the Philippines to enter the list, and is the only private university from the Philippines to be included. DLSU also made its debut appearance on the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings in 2019, where it was placed in the 251-300 bracket. Currently, De La Salle University holds the distinction of being the lone Philippine private university to appear in both the QS World University Rankings and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
