STILL ON THE JOB HUNT? 👔

MORE THAN a third of Artlets alumni respondents of a graduate tracer study reported being unemployed or pursuing another academic endeavor from 2022 to 2024.

A Thomasian Graduate tracer study (TGTS) survey data obtained by The Flame showed that of the 742 respondents from the classes of 2022 to 2024, 138 or about one in five Artlets alumni reported having no jobs.

The study also found 188 respondents saying that they are pursuing another academic undertaking, including post-graduate education and licensure exam preparations.

The survey depends on voluntary and self-updated responses, which may not represent the current employment status of graduates.

Congratulations to the 120 graduates from the Behavioral Science program, 49 or 40.83%, who will finish their program with latin honors. 💜

Three will graduate summa cm laude, 11 magna cm laude and 35 cm laude. 🥇🥈🥉

THE PERCENTAGE of UST Faculty of Arts and Letters (AB) graduates who will graduate with Latin honors decreased for the second consecutive year, but those who will receive the academic distinction still constitute the majority of the class of 2026.

Of the 772 graduating Artlets, 396 or 51.3% will be conferred Latin honors on Monday, June 8, at the Quadricentennial Pavilion, based on the Solemn Investiture program given by the dean’s office.

Despite comprising the majority of the graduating class, the percentage of Latin honorees showed a downward trend. In 2024 and 2025, the percentage of AB Latin honorees were 77.39% and 65.16%, respectively. The faculty saw 74% of its 2023 graduates finish with honors.
