OUR CURRENT SITUATION

Where are we now?

The University picks up from where it left off in terms of its strategic areas or the major final
outputs (MFO). The following data from the Term-End Report 2014-2018 of the former University
President, Dr. Serafin L. Ngohayon, serves as benchmark in laying-out the direction of the University
for the next eight years.

STRATEGIC REVIEW

MFO 1—Higher Education Services
Generally, the University was able to accomplish its targets very satisfactorily as planned
especially in the areas of graduates in priority undergraduate programs and accreditation of
undergraduate programs.
For the licensure examination, the total average passing rate has consistently surpassed the
National Passing Rate (Figure 3). Yearly, since 2010, the University was consistently recognized by the
Philippine Regulations Commission (PRC) as Top Performing School in Criminology for the excellent
performance of the series of batches of BS Criminology graduates. Individual topnotchers were also
produced from various fields—Forestry, Midwifery, Education, Criminology, and Agriculture.
However, it must be noted, to seriously consider, that the University fell short in attaining
targets for Licensure Examination in these two recent consecutive years—2017 and 2018 (As of
September).

Moreover, 28 undergraduate programs representing 57% of the total programs were awarded
with Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) by the Commission in Higher Education (CHED) as of
March 2018.
Curricular programs of the University had undergone accreditation by the Accrediting Agency
for Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) and now has 96% (22 out of 23) of
“accreditable” undergraduate programs are accredited. There are now more Level 2 programs ready to
be subjected for Level 3 while few Level 3 programs are ready for Level 4.
