➢ Description of how the curriculum was designed, developed, monitored, reviewed and approved by
authorities concerned, including the participation of the academic community and the stakeholders.

The College or University conducts regular review of its academic programs which is aimed at determining
the relevance, necessity and the quality of the curriculum.

In ISU, the initiative emanates from the department level. The department, through an AD-Hoc Department
Committee on Curriculum Review and Revision, periodically reviews curriculum, studies and deliberates the merits
of the program for revision considering whether the programs are attuned to the needs/ demands of the time. The
proposal must pass through the Campus and University Curriculum Review and Revision Committees, prior to
presentation to the College, Campus and University Academic Councils, respectively, for approval and
endorsement to the Board of Regents. The Campus Executive Officer over-sees the curriculum revision at the
Campus level. As mandated, the Board of Regents gives the final approval of the revised program.

➢ Description of the system/s used in evaluating and improving the quality of the program including:
▪ The role of stakeholders
▪ The integration of recent trends and developments
▪ The updating of course syllabi

A Curriculum Review and Evaluation committee was set up at the University/ Campus/College levels not
only to periodically assess the responsiveness and relevance of curricular offerings but also to propose necessary
revisions, and to develop and propose new relevant curricular programs for endorsement to the University
Academic Council (University Code, Chapter IV Academic Policies, Article I, Section 1).

All curricular programs are subjected to periodic accreditation by the proper accrediting bodies to ensure
quality and excellence of said programs. (University Code, Chapter IV Academic Policies, Article I, Section 2)
