Libacao College to Discontinue Programs Following Quality Assurance Issues

Libacao College of Science and Technology (LCST) in the Philippines will phase out its BS Hospitality Management, BS Industrial Technology, and BS Special Needs Education programs, ceasing new student admissions for Academic Year 2026-2027. This action follows the college's failure to secure Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The decision impacts current and prospective students and underscores challenges in meeting educational quality standards.
