The PLM curricula, from the licensure programs to minimum course requirements, are based from the prescribed curriculum of the Commission on Higher Education, but the PLM education system exercises full autonomy to alter its own curricula.
The different colleges offer degree programs based on the curricula proposed by the PLM faculty. Usually, the programs require the teaching of the courses of study by leaders in the business or industry and the conduct of actual field exposure. The participative involvement of practitioners in the formulation of the courses of study is reflected in skills-oriented, community-directed and value-driven curricular programs of PLM. In 2004, the University's Medium-Term Development Plan mainstreamed into the PLM education system some innovative programs and best practices as articulated in the academic programs that are market-based and responsive to the industry needs.
During the first year of college work, scholars at the undergraduate level receive a general education program from the College of Liberal Arts. All freshmen shall enrol in a common program of preparatory courses during their first year prior to enroling in their choice of academic degree program the following year. On 15 April 2005, the 68-unit PLM General Education Program (GEP) was revised. Now, it consists of English, Filipino, Social Sciences and Humanities, Philosophy and Ethics, Sciences, Mathematics, and Personal Financial Management. Other management courses have also been integrated with emphasis on ethics to ensure that PLM graduates are steep with sound values and adhere to the highest ethical standards necessary in their chosen careers.
The students are also required to attend four Physical Education classes, and a choice between the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) under the Department of Military Science & Tactics and the Civil Welfare Training Service (CWTS) under the National Service Training Program (NSTP).
