Abstract: COVID 19 pandemic has changed learning delivery and services. Although many universities adapted to postpandemic needs, students view on preferences of learning modalities were not comprehensively examine, particularly, the Philippines. This study aims to understand students' preference of learning modalities after COVID 19 pandemic, given some changes. The study conducted a survey of university students taking Information Technology program. Results show that students generally prefer a learning modality setup that balances flexibility with more emphasis on in-person instruction to improve hybrid learning modality. Upperclass prefer face-to-face classes, particularly those in the upper years (3rd and 4th year) due to better interaction and focused learning. Hands-on courses like capstone and programming are seen as essential to be delivered in a faceto-face setup for practical experience. This study presents implications for improving the delivery of hybrid learning modality and research.
