VIRAC, Catanduanes, June 26 (PIA) -- The Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines, Inc. (AACCUP) started the evaluation on 12 curricular programs of Catanduanes State University (CSU) on Monday, June 24.
The week-long evaluation, which will last until June 29, and will survey eleven curricular programs at CSU Main Campus and one at the school's Panganiban Campus.
CSU president Dr. Minerva I. Morales said that AACCUP will evaluate curricular programs including Accountancy, Business Administration, and Nutrition & Dietetics - Third Survey (Level III) assessment; Biology and Mathematics- Second Survey (Level II) assessment; and Civil Engineering, Information Systems, Agriculture, and Public Administration - First Survey (Level I) assessment.
In the graduate school, Morales added that the Doctor of Education and the Master of Business Administration programs will undergo First Survey evaluation while the Agriculture program of the CSU Panganiban Campus will go through the preliminary survey.
Morales emphasized the need to work for a balanced scorecard in the university which requires the school's accredited programs as one of the significant indicators in attaining quality teaching and learning.
The Third Survey Visit, according to AACCUP, is the accreditation stage conducted after a program has enjoyed a Level II Re-accredited status for five years. Passing a higher level standard of quality entitles the program to apply for Level III. The program is then evaluated and must excel in four areas, namely instruction and extension, which are mandatory; and two more areas to be chosen from among research, performance in licensure examination, faculty development, and linkages.
The Second Survey Visit involves the evaluation of an accredited program, and if it has passed the standards set at a higher level of quality than the immediately preceding survey visit, may qualify the program to an award of Level II Re-accredited status, good for five years.
According to AACCUP, accreditation is a process by which an institution at the tertiary level evaluates its educational activities, in whole or in part, and seeks an independent judgment to confirm that it substantially achieves its objectives, and is generally equal in quality to comparable institutions.
There are 10 criteria (areas) that are used in the assessment of programs. These are Mission, Goals, and Objectives; Faculty, Curriculum, and Instruction; Students, Research, Extension, and Community Involvement, Library, Physical Facilities, Laboratories, and Administration.
To date, CSU has already 19 accredited programs. If the six other programs up for First Survey visit will hurdle the AACCUP evaluation, CSU’s accredited curricular offerings will now be 25. (MAL/EAB/GSR-CSU/PIA5)
