The online accreditation survey visit for the four degree programs of Benguet State University concluded with a closing meeting. The evaluation was conducted by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP).

The three-day survey visit evaluated the degree programs, including the Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education and the Master of Science in Animal Science for the fourth survey-second cycle. The MA in English Language Studies was assessed during the fourth survey visit, while the BS in Hospitality Management was evaluated during the third survey-phase 2. These programs were evaluated in areas of research, performance of graduates, community service, international linkages and consortia, and well-developed planning process.

During the program, AACCUP Team Overall Coordinator Carlo F. Vadil presented the accreditors’ impressions on the assessed programs, highlighting the strengths and opportunities for improvement. He thanked the BSU officials and the Local Task Force for their cooperation throughout the accreditation process.

Vadil encouraged everyone to view the accreditation activity as an inspiration and an opportunity for growth, regardless of the outcome, while remaining committed to pursuing quality and excellence in the University’s programs and services. He also looked forward to collaborating with the University through the sharing of experience-based practices.

VP for Business Affairs Josel M. Florentin, representing BSU President Kenneth A. Laruan, expressed gratitude to the accreditors for evaluating the University’s degree programs, providing constructive feedback, and recognizing the Local Task Force’s efforts.

“Let this not be the end of striving for excellence, but simply a checkpoint. We commit not because we are told to do, but because we owe it to our students who walk through our gates hoping for quality education, and to every scientist and dreamer this institution continues to shield,” he stressed.

Following the awarding of certificates of appreciation to the accreditors, College of Human Ecology Dean Jao-jao A. Somyden delivered her closing remarks, acknowledging the collective efforts, dedication, and perseverance of the BSU Local Task Force that made the accreditation a success. She also emphasized that accreditation is a shared responsibility to uphold standards for academic and operational integrity.

“With perseverance and teamwork, we turn challenges into opportunities for growth,” she said.//EBawayan
