The program operates as a collaboration among the four UST universities. An inter-university Program Committee, composed of a Program Director and a campus coordinator from each university, is responsible for defining the program's educational direction, designing the curriculum, and establishing administrative procedures.

The International Center for Cultural Studies, UST, serves as a coordinating platform for the cultural studies teams across the four universities.
