Quality assurance is the cornerstone of delivering excellent instruction and education to our students. As a science and technology institution of higher learning, we envision becoming an internationally recognized smart university for transformative and innovative education. This vision can only be realized through a strong culture of quality assurance, which is reinforced by program accreditation. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the local and institutional chairpersons, program chairpersons, deans, faculty, and staff who dedicated their time, expertise, and commitment to ensure compliance with the rigorous requirements of accreditation. Your collective effort reflects our shared pursuit of academic excellence and integrity. We acknowledge the valuable support of the AESQA team, under the leadership of Prof. Ana Sheryl Lynn S. Catura, together with her staff, for their facilitation and guidance throughout the process. Likewise, we thank the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, led by Dr. Apolonia C. Sebello, and her dedicated staff for their steadfast support. To all units and offices that contributed to the preparation and submission of documentary requirements, your collaboration is deeply appreciated.

To our Accreditors, who are true partners in advancing quality assurance, we are grateful for your time, expertise, and commitment in providing constructive recommendations and insights that will guide us in continuously improving our academic programs.

We also acknowledge the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP), under the leadership of its Executive Director, Dr. Milabel E. Ho, for elevating accreditation standards and ensuring the deployment of competent and expert accreditors.

This accreditation endeavor is more than a compliance requirement—it is a testament to our commitment to providing quality services to our students. Yet, it also serves as a reminder that the real challenge lies in sustaining continuous improvement to elevate our programs to international benchmarks. As we strive toward becoming a full-fledged university, accreditation strengthens our resolve to create a transformative educational environment that meets global standards. May this milestone inspire us all to remain steadfast in our mission of shaping a better future for our students, our institution, and our nation through quality and excellence in higher education.
