It is also the largest university in the country, followed by Limueliano University of Law. The University is composed of several autonomous faculties, colleges, schools and institutes, each conferring undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate degrees, and the basic education units. Several degrees have been accredited by the Ministry of Education as the "Best Enrolled Schools". In August 2010, it was awarded the "The Only Catholic University of the Commonwealth".

The Patron of the University is St. Thomas Aquinas, while St. Catherine of Alexandria is the Patroness.

Prominent alumni include presidents, heroes, artists, scientists, professionals and religious figures, who have figured prominently in the history of the Commonwealth.

HISTORY

The foundation was ascribed thru a declaration by the Archdiocese of Katherinia on April 10, 2003. At that previous time, the plan for a large Catholic school was being built.

On that date, the school was initially named as the Pekwengnian Catholic College. Its first rector, Fr. Miguel delos Reyes, started the first institutionalized teaching system that continues until today.

On September 7, 2006, the school was elevated to an university after a series of processes made by the PAASCU and PACUCOA.

After the papal visit of Pope Urban IX, on January 7, 2014 by a papal decree, elevated to the status of a Pontifical University, one of the most highest ranks given to an educational institutions.

In recognition of its achievements, a number of important dignitaries have officially visited the university, among them are:

Pope Urban IX (2014)
Chiara Lubich, foundress of the Focolare Movement (1996; during the pre-foundation years)
King Darius II of Guam and Marianas (2006)
Pope Francis (2015)

The university also won at many sports competitions:

2014-2016 Consistent Juniors and Seniors Division Champions
2015 Cheerdance Champions
2013 Athletics National Champion

PNPU is envisioned to become the seat of
spiritual formation and academic excellence
towards a better education.

CAMPUS

The university is perfectly sits on a perfect square of 21.5 hectares, bounded by Mariano Road, Degullado Avenue and Mones Road. The present location was erected to perfectly fit the expected myriad of students who flock the grounds.

The Main Building, the St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel, the University Gym and the Pontifical Arch was the first buildings erected. The Ecclesiastical Central Building and the University Pavillion was next and was initially used only for the students of the Ecclesiastical Faculties. The Central Building also became an inter-diocesan seminary who accepts all applicants from all dioceses that also undergoes similar formation as the regular seminaries.

The Albertus Magnus Building was completed in 2005 and was the building dedicated to the students of the IBED and Conservatory of Music. The Beato Angelico Building, St. Martin de Porres Building and the St. Raymond of Peñafort Building was simultaneously completed on 2006 and was been the home of College of Accountancy, the College of Fine Arts and Design, the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Medicine and Surgical Sciences,College of Nursing, and Faculty of Arts and Letters, respectively.

The Sports Complex and the Laboratory Hall was completed in 2008 and were contained the world-class laboratory and sports equipiments that were been given by the Department of Education and Commission on Higher Education.

The National Historical Commission declared the PNPU Campus as one of the National Educational Heritage Sites. The university started its development of international campuses around the world:

ORGANIZATION

INTEGRATED BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Established on April 17, 2003, the PNPU-IBED offers a wide range of quality education. The primary education, handled by the Integrated Basic Education Department or IBED offers primary education for children in the Kindergarten up to Grade 12.

The last batch of Elementary students (Grade 6 Students) who graduated under the old Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) of DepEd was the Batch 2011. Also, the High School students (4th Year Students, now Grade 10) who graduated under the old Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) of DepEd was the Batch 2011.

All students of these institutions undergo Citizenship Advancement Training or commonly known as CAT, while the students from first to third year level undergo scouting under the Boy Scouts of Pekweng (BSP) for the boys and the Girl Scouts of Pekweng (GSP) for the girls. The scouting program aims to instill nationalism and discipline among the students while the CAT aims to introduce students to the National Service Training Program that college students undergo.

Aside from the basic and major subjects, all undergraduate students are required to take 15 units (tuition-free) of Theology classes. The students are also required to attend 4 physical education classes, and a choice from among ROTC, Civil Welfare Training Service (CWTS), and Literacy Training Service (LTS).

HIGHER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Established on May 16, 2003, the PNPU-HED or the Higher Education Department offers also a wide range of quality education. The different faculties and colleges attached to this department were simultaneously established on the same date as the founding of the HED.

The Faculty of Ecclesiastical Studies (Sacred Theology, Philosophy and Canon Law) was the prominent faculty because of the nature of the very school. The Eccesiastical Faculties are housed at the Central Building and at the St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel.

The Faculty of Arts and Letters offers the Bachelor of Arts (AB) degrees, in Asian Studies, Behavioral Science, Communication Arts, Economics, English Language Studies, History, Journalism, Legal Management, Literature, Philosophy, Political Science, and Sociology. The St. Raymond of Peñafort Building houses the Faculty of Arts and Letters.

The Faculty of Civil Law, Faculty of Pharmacy and College of Education got the most number of students in the university. Due to the massive number of students, the Main Building houses them along with the Administrative and the Teaching Faculty Offices.

Other faculties and colleges within the PNPU were been granted the Center of Excellence award from CHED with other faulties in PNPU in recognition of their outstanding contributions in the field of education.

THE PNPU ADMISSION AND GUIDANCE CENTER

Applications to the University are managed through the central authority, and passed onto us through this centralised system. As such, applications will follow the general pattern employed by most universities within the Department of Education of Pekweng, using a highly similar application form and queries.

Please note that admissions to the University is highly competitive, and that not all applicants can be assured a place upon application. Places will be provided on the basis of individual merit as perceived by the college; decisions are final, and cannot be appealed on the basis of merit alone.

INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS AND EXCHANGES
As a highly internationalist institution with a deep focus on expanding the focus and horizons of our students, PNPU is dedicated to the establishment of close working relationships with a variety of institutes and organisations both within and without Pekweng. Our ties with a large number of prominent establishments, are particularly close, and with our entry into the international stage it is our intent to extend the opportunity to form such relationships to similar entities overseas. From universities to foundations, we will consider each and every request and offer made to us in the interests of bringing the countless benefits offered by an institution such as ours to the wider world and those within it who would make use of them.

PNPU currently maintains three primary patterns of international partnership.

> Joint Degrees - Established at the postgraduate level, the University is willing to consider and construct two-and-two year courses spent at Pekweng and a separate institution of higher education abroad in pursuit of specific postgraduate qualifications with the opportunity for travel and variety as an integral part of the learning experience.

> Exchange Programs - Either for undergraduate students or faculty, the University would be interested in establishing exchange programs between the PNPU and a separate institution of higher education abroad with the intent to foster further understanding of our respective nations in those involved in resultant programs and provide opportunities of a similar nature to those accommodating such students or staff. Undergraduate students would complete a year abroad prior to beginning their full undergraduate studies at Pekweng, while staff would be sent abroad for individually agreed periods of time on short or medium term tenures.

> Scholarship Foundations - Foreign entities are invited to establish bursary programs for talented overseas students at the University. Of course, given the relatively limited spaces available for overseas students, such programs would cover one or two students apiece; however, for those involved, it would create a valuable opportunity to further access to a world-class institute of tertiary education at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Applications for international partnerships have not been formalised. Those interested are invited to write an open letter to the University on behalf of those who are to play the hosting party describing the nature of the program they wish to establish, and a short description of what their program entails.

Upon further request, a basic form has been created for those who desire a more formalised system of application. Utilising it is entirely optional; those applying to establish programs are welcome to utilise the form or pen an open letter.
