Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

PACUCOA accreditation shapes the quality of education in the Philippines, focusing on its role in boosting institutional performance and meeting the needs of students, faculty, and other stakeholders. This study was conducted to determine the impact of accreditation on the quality of programs in a Higher Education Institution. The study involved 365 participants who represented various colleges of the university. Descriptive Correlational and causal research designs were employed in the study. Students and faculty are highly satisfied with the qualifications of educators, fair admission standards, and the training programs for staff all of which were seen as closely aligned with the institution's goals. Accreditation is widely recognized as valuable and significantly enhances students’ learning experiences, improves faculty performance, and boosts the university’s reputation. However, challenges like increased workloads and time demands are noted. Key factors like infrastructure and institutional support emerged as critical for ensuring high-quality education, with resources and school culture playing a vital role. The study highlights the importance of PACUCOA accreditation as a tool for raising the standards and global competitiveness of Higher Education Institutions. To achieve even better results, it is suggested that resource allocation, upgrading digital infrastructure, and strengthening institutional support be given priority.
