Laboratory and Other Facilities.
• The laboratory and facilities requirements for undergraduate
programs shall be coupled with: a) provision for research facilities or
research equipment in basic sciences, b) instructional laboratories for
Course-work Master’s (CWM) Program and, c) extensive information
technology facilities that will allow for Internet access. (lifted from CMO No.
36 s.1998)
• There is 100% internet connectivity in the learning resources of
the University and in all computer laboratory rooms thus providing ready
internet access to students conducting researches. The central graduate
school building (cyber library) is a wi-fi zone area to respond to the research
needs of the graduate students. Since almost all graduate students have
their own laptops/netbooks and many of the research references are found
over various websites, it is easier for them to do research without going to
various places within the campus.
• In terms of statistical software needed in the analysis of research
data, the university purchased a licensed software for use by the graduate
school faculty member handling Statistics subject who then serve as the
statistician of the research students. However, downloadable trial version of
the software is being downloaded for instructional purposes.
