In the words of William A. Foster, “Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.” And it is through this principle that the College of Industrial Technology welcomes the accrediting team for its Doctor of Philosophy in Technology Management (PhD-TM) program Level III AACCUP accreditation. In our quest for quality and excellence, we are subjecting our PhD-TM program to review and evaluation. 

I hope that through this accreditation, the AACCUP accrediting team will agree with our claim that quality and excellence are a way of life in the PhD-TM program and that these are evident in our operations, processes, and implementations.

On our part, the local Accreditation task force, despite the challenge of the COVID pandemic, has worked hard to ensure that required documents are organized and readily available for validation. This is to ensure that the accreditation process will run smoothly.

To the AACCUP Accrediting team, our partner in our pursuit of Quality and Excellence, the entire CIT and CHMSU community are truly grateful for your time and effort in reviewing and evaluating the academic process and operation of our PhD-TM program. 

It is with great honor and pleasure to be part of this endeavor and an opportunity to showcase the program of our institution's Doctor of Philosophy in Technology Management (PhD-TM) under the College of Industrial Technology (CIT). This accreditation is a testament to the continuous commitment of CHMSU to excellence and quality education. 

To the AACCUP Accrediting team, the CIT and CHMSU community are honored and grateful to have you. Your insights and wisdom will greatly support the PhD-TM program's footprint in the Philippines and in the near future Globally.
