The Accrediting Agency for Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) has granted Institutional Accreditation Level IV Re-Accredited status to Pangasinan State University Bayambang Campus. The said award was received by Dr. Dexter R. Buted, University President, during the AACCUP 35th Annual National Conference and 2nd Virtual National Conference on March 11, with the theme Trends and Directions in Accreditation in Pre-and Post-Covid Stretch.
PSU-BC went through a week-long assessment in nine areas for quality assurance namely: (1) Governance and Management, (2) Teaching-Learning and Evaluation, (3) Faculty and Staff, (4) Research, (5) Extension, (6) Support to Students, (7) Library, 8-Infrastructure and Other Learning Resources, and (9) Quality Assurance on December 13-17, 2021.
Dr. Buted personally believes that the findings and recommendations after going through these assessments are much more important than the award itself โโฆfrom here on, we move forward to greater heights ushering our university to take the path of continuous improvementโฆโ
This amazing feat can be attributed to all the mighty men and women of Bayambang Campus whose zeal for quality and excellence is unparalleled. It is worth mentioning that Dr. Maria Glenda O. de Lara of Philippine Normal University and lead accreditor for the area assessment for (2) Teaching, Learning, and Evaluation, (3) Faculty and Staff, and (6) Support to Students, commended Dr. Liza L. Quimson, Campus Executive Director for her exemplary leadership. โThe top secret in an organization lies in the leadership; when the leader is inspiring [and] admirable, he/she can make things happen. When the subordinates are inspired, they will work voluntarily towards the achievement of [the] common goal,โ said Dr. de Lara.
The Institutional Accreditation of an institution by a reputable organization is a huge undertaking as its success bears a telling for the further endeavors of the institution. And after passing the dire AACCUP institutional accreditation, PSU-BC has now earned the stamp of approval not only of the accreditors but the entire Higher Education Institutions across the country.
PSU-BCโs hard-earned Institutional Accreditation level IV Re-Accredited status is a testament that we are the Regionโs Premier University of Choice.
