CSU CAMPUSES UNDERGO ONLINE AACCUP ACCREDITATIONS, SURVEY VISITS

To ensure that its programs meet national and international quality standards, Cagayan State University (CSU) has proactively subjected its academic offerings to Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) online accreditation survey visits this year.

Today, November 26, 2025, CSU formally opened AACCUP’s third survey visits for select programs at CSU Andrews and CSU Piat, including the Master of Arts in Education major in Educational Management, English, Social Studies, and Technology Educational Management, as well as the Bachelor of Technical-Vocational Teacher Education, Bachelor of Elementary Education, and Bachelor of Secondary Education programs majoring in English, Mathematics, and Social Studies.

“We view this as an opportunity to grow and improve, as continuous development is essential to maintaining excellence in higher education,” said OIC President Dr. Arthur G. Ibañez during the opening program of the survey visits. “This year, about 45 of our academic programs underwent accreditation, and the final campus, CSU Aparri, will host the last third survey visit,” he added.

The survey visits, scheduled to run until November 28, provide the university a platform to showcase its strengths while identifying areas for improvement.

Earlier, from November 12 - 14, CSU Sanchez Mira, CSU Lasam, and CSU Lal-lo simultaneously participated in AACCUP Level III Phase II online accreditation evaluations.

CSU Sanchez Mira presented its Bachelor of Science in Accounting Information Systems (BSAIS), Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSA), and Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) programs for evaluation. CSU Lasam had its BS Information Technology (BSIT) and BS Industrial Technology (BSIndTech) programs reviewed, while CSU Lal-lo presented its Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) program.
