In addition, several other academic programs of the University were recognized for their sustained commitment to quality and academic excellence. The University earned Level IV Re-accredited Status for the Bachelor of Science in Psychology and the Bachelor of Arts in Economics under the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS); these recognitions are the result of the full support and effort of the entire CAS faculty and staff under the superintendence of CAS Dean, Dr. Sherwin S.

Through sustained collaboration among administrators, faculty, staff, and stakeholders, the University continues to reinforce its quality assurance mechanisms and align its academic programs with national standards, upholding its mission to deliver excellence in instruction, research, extension, and governance in service to the nation.
