The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Regional Quality Assessment Team (RQAT) — composed of Dr. Andrew S. Macalma, Dr. Jane Chad-en B. Busaing, Dr. Ariel Nimo B. Pumecha, and Dr. Filibert Patrick Tad-awan — was once again welcomed by Benguet State University–Bokod Campus, headed by Dr. Gleemoore C. Makie, together with representatives from the Office of Quality Assurance and Accreditation (OQAA), for another onsite visit and evaluation on October 15, 2025.

This time, the RQAT visit focused on the Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) evaluation for the College of Criminal Justice Education and Public Administration (CCJEPA), led by Dr. Dempsey O. Depayso. The evaluation covered the Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Bachelor in Public Administration programs. Areas of assessment included administration, faculty qualifications, curriculum, library resources, physical facilities and equipment, research and publication outputs, instructional standards, and admission requirements.

The COPC evaluation serves as a vital quality assurance mechanism that determines whether degree programs offered by State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs) comply with the Policies, Standards, and Guidelines (PSGs) set by CHED for higher education institutions.

Through this continuing evaluation process, BSU Bokod Campus reaffirms its commitment to upholding academic excellence and delivering quality education in line with higher education standards.
