The three-day accreditation activity commenced on March 25, 2026, with an opening program that formally welcomed the team of accreditors and set a purposeful tone for the entire evaluation process. On March 26, 2026, the BSCOOP faculty, led by Dr. Serapio Castriciones, Program Chair, in close monitoring and supervision of Dr. Mary Gay T. Aguila, College Dean, carried out a rigorous and comprehensive presentation of documents and supporting evidence. This was made possible through the collective efforts and active participation of the BSCOOP faculty and the Technical Working Group (TWG) from the different departments of the college, whose dedication and collaboration were instrumental throughout the undertaking.

The presentation of narratives and video coupled with an extensive and in-depth question-and-answer session to stakeholders and the Accreditation Task Force reflect a thorough examination of the program’s operations, achievements, and compliance with accreditation standards. This phase effectively showcased the program’s strengths, established systems, and best practices, while underscoring the faculty’s preparedness, competence, and unwavering commitment to excellence. The accreditation concluded on March 27, 2026, with a closing program that formally marked the culmination of the evaluative process.

The successful conduct of the accreditation was made possible through the collective efforts, sacrifices, and unwavering support of the BSCOOP faculty, as well as the College of Arts and Sciences faculty and staff, who contributed in various capacities throughout the preparation and presentation stages. As the program awaits the official results, the entire academic community remains hopeful and optimistic for a favorable outcome, trusting that their hard work and dedication will be duly recognized.

From the College of Arts and Sciences’ Faculty and Staff, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation and thanksgiving to our accreditors who not only reviewed the documents but also shared experiences that encourage the BSCOOP to continue and sustain its programs, projects and activities.
