NVSU to Get AACCUP's nod for BS Computer Science Program

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) program under the College of Arts and Sciences of the Nueva Vizcaya State University is currently undergoing Level IV Phase II Revisit accreditation by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) from May 29–31 via Zoom platform.

The rigorous assessment covers all key areas of the BS Computer Science program, including research, graduate performance, international linkages, community service, and planning processes.

The BSCS accreditation task force attended the opening program before engaging in discussions with the accreditors at Room ITE202. The accreditor provided a checklist that must be complied with on the second day of the accreditation process, followed by interviews with the area chairs assigned to each surveyed area.

Meanwhile, President Wilfredo A. Dumale, Jr., who graced the event, highlighted the university's continuous efforts in solidifying international linkages and digitalization through the contributions of the BSCS program. Also, OIC College Dean Fermila D. Cauilan and college faculty members attended the significant event, underscoring the university's commitment to achieving successful accreditation outcomes.

Accreditation plays a vital role in validating the quality and standards of academic programs. Nueva Vizcaya State University's Level IV Phase II Revisit accreditation for the BS Computer Science program reflects the collaborative efforts of all the program chairs, coordinators, and faculty members and the institution's dedication to providing high-quality education in the field.

This ongoing accreditation process enables the university to identify its strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring alignment with industry standards and the production of competent graduates. It also enhances the university's reputation and inspires confidence among students, faculty, and potential employers.

The results of the accreditation process will significantly impact Nueva Vizcaya State University's College of Arts and Sciences and its BS in Computer Science program. A positive outcome will testify to the program's excellence and ability to meet the AACCUP's stringent standards. Any identified areas for improvement will guide the university in making the necessary adjustments to enhance the program's quality.

As the Level IV Phase II Revisit accreditation process continues, the university community eagerly awaits the outcome. The results of this ongoing assessment will shape the future of the BS Computer Science program and contribute to the overall growth and development of Nueva Vizcaya State University.
