External Quality Assessment of BS Biology

Two degree programs of UP  Mindanao, the BS Biology, along with the BS  Computer Science, were evaluated under External  Quality Assurance (EQA) with the UP System QA  assessors, Dr. Amelia Guevara and Dr. Irene  Villaseñor, on 19 – 24 February 2024. Interviews with the stakeholders (students, alumni, and employers) were made based on the self-assessment  report (SAR) about the implementation of the program. The assessors also inspected the facilities that cater  to the needs of the students. 

The Department finally received the certificate for successfully completing Type B External Review as  part of the requirements for UP EQA on 8 April  2024.

This activity is a simulation of the validation process for the ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance (AUN-QA), an international certifying body for higher education in the region. The actual validation is slated on 11 – 13 June  2024.
