UNEP maintains seat as Institution with the highest number of Accredited Programs in Bicol

With its consistent place as an institution with the highest number of accredited programs here in Bicol, the University of Northeastern Philippines (UNEP) has once again proven that it never rests on its laurels and incessantly innovates to raise the bar of education in the region.

 This after the   Philippine Association of College and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) gave the aforementioned accolade to UNEP in a formal letter sent to UNEP President Atty. Remelisa Alfelor-Moraleda this November.
 
In the said correspondence, PACUCOA Chairman Rosita L. Navarro, Ph.D. stated that the university will be conferred with the said award this year for having maintained its stature in terms of offering academic programs consistent with its mission to promote quality education.
 
Earning the recognition is not easy. UNEP’s facilities, teaching instructions and laboratories, among others were reviewed by PACUCOA accreditors. The university’s philosophy and objectives, particularly the organization of HRM, Nursing and Criminology curriculum, including the goals, objectives and administration of MAED, MBA, MPA and EdD have to be thoroughly appraised.
 
Moraleda was evidently elated with the recent news and extended her congratulations to all the department heads, personnel and all the officers of UNEP for consistently keeping up with the college’s mission and vision.
 
“This will not be possible without the full cooperation of the UNEP community, especially our Deans, Department heads and our faculty.  This commendable recognition will not only benefit the academic institution but also our students who will be assured that the programs being offered to them passed through quality standards,” Moraleda stated.
 
UNEP’s accredited programs include its courses in Nursing, Criminology, and Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM). Its High School Division was also cited including its top-quality laboratories with state-of-the-art facilities – considered first of its kind in the region.  UNEP High School department also offers modified dynamic learning program which is one of the basis for a higher level of accreditation.
 
PACUCOA, through their accreditation, endeavors to give recognition to academic institutions who have achieved a high degree of quality in the administration of their offered programs.   They also see to it that member-schools are delivering its commitment in terms of ensuring quality performance in the implementation of their educational programs, guaranteeing that academic packages are in line with their mission, vision and philosophy.
