Four programs from the Colleges of Business and Accountancy, Computer Science, and Engineering formally received their accreditation certificates from the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) on April 22, 2026 at the Academic Building AVR, Lucinda Campus.
During the ceremony, the BS Accountancy program was awarded Level IV Retained status, indicating that it has successfully retained its Level IV status for the second cycle. In addition, the BS Information System attained Level IV Re-accredited status, while the BS Electronics Engineering and MS Electrical Engineering attained Level III Re-accredited status.
Following the award announcements, Dr. Niño B. Corpuz, Director of the Office of Quality Assurance, led the discussion of the accreditation results and the accreditors’ recommendations.
Representing TSU OIC-President Dr. Maura D. Cristobal, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Jasper Jay N. Mendoza extended her congratulations to the programs.
“The awarding of accreditation levels is never simply a ceremonial act. It is a recognition of sustained excellence, of patience, collective labor, and shared commitment to quality that has been tested and affirmed by the most rigorous of standards,” he said.
Meanwhile, on a personal note, Dr. Mendoza reminded everyone that the true measure of accreditation is not found in a certificate but in the lives of every student transformed and communities served.
CBA Dean Dr. Jhonel Panlilio said in her message that they accept the challenge to maintain their current status while committing to contribute more to research and extension and to strengthen their linkages.
CCS Dean Dr. Alvincent Danganan said that this milestone reflects more than academic compliance. It embodies their shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement.
COE Dean Dr. Miriam Galvez pledged their unwavering commitment to uphold the highest standards of academic excellence, integrity, and sincerity to pursue the quality and innovation in engineering education.
The accreditation status of BSA and BSIS is valid until December 2030, while the status of BSEE and BSECE is valid until December 2029.
