The distribution of core faculty members is presented in the figure below. It can be seen that 15% hold a doctorate, 35% are master's degree holders, while the remaining 50% are bachelor's degree holders. It is worth noting that 60% (6 out of 10) of those with bachelor’s degree are currently pursuing their Master’s Degree, while 20% (2 out of 10) has earned master's degree units. This is a manifestation of the program’s commitment to excellence and meeting g the requirements of the Policies, Standards, and Guidelines for the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

While 25% (5 out of 20) have industry experience. These supplemental qualifications reinforce the lacking educational preparation of the faculty.

C. Faculty Adequacy and Loading System

The Program currently has Eight (8) Full Time Faculty and eight (8) lecturers. The teaching load is based on the specialization of the faculty. In case of need for an appropriate graduate degree, additional qualifications such as relevant industry experience and business experience are considered. In some instances where circumstances won't allow, faculty are given three to four courses per semester to facilitate the time for lesson preparation, checking of papers, consultation with students, and other matters related to instruction, research, and extension.

The PSU Faculty Manual provides that faculty should be given a maximum of three preparations. In exceptional cases where three preparations are impossible, the fourth preparation will be compensated with increased working hours equivalent. The PSG for BS Business Administration (CMO 17, series of 2017) provides that no faculty member shall be given more than four (4) preparation in any given semester with a maximum load of 24 units per term.

The program is religiously observing the above provisions as reflected in the summary of loading presented below:

Figure 4 summarizes the number of faculty preparation vs. PSG for BSBA vs. PSU Faculty Manual Thresholds over the last seven semesters. It can be seen from the trend that the Program is well within the threshold provided by the PSG for BSBA except during the 2nd Semester of 2021-2022. Against the PSU Faculty Manual threshold, the program has been a little above. However, it can be observed from the trend that from the 2nd Semester of 2021-2022 to the current semester, it is decreasing. In fact, during the recent semester, the actual average number of faculty preparation is already within the thresholds of both the PSG and the PSU Faculty Manual.

Figure 5 summarizes the average class size vs. PSU Faculty Manual Thresholds over the last seven semesters. It can be seen from the trend that the Program is consistently within the threshold provided by the PSU Faculty Manual threshold. Although the actual class size is changing, it is within the standards.

In compliance with the PSG for BSBA, which requires that Full-time Faculty teach 50% of the Core Courses, the program ensures that more than half of the courses are taught by full-time faculty.
