MSU-Marawi starts COPC

The opening program for the Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) from the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education- Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MBHTE-BARMM) of the Mindanao State University – Main Campus was held yesterday at the MSU-International Convention Center. It was attended by the program evaluators from different academic institutions in Mindanao and the MBHTE Team headed by Director General Marjuni M. Maddi and the MSU officials.

As part of the program, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Dr. Amerkhan G. Cabaro gave the opening remarks and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Alma E. Berowa motivated everyone in her message. Final remarks were given by the System President, Atty. Basari D. Mapupuno and responded by a message from DG Maddi of MBHTE.

Some unit heads, college deans, and few faculty members and staff of various MSU units who will be partaking in the activity were also present to the event. Among them were Director Linang M. Cabugatan, PhD of Agakhan Museum & Natural Science Museum and Director Aisah D. Munder of the Division of Student Affairs who both uttered how this COPC will help in upgrading and evaluating the standing of the University. Their offices will be among the selected semi-academic units that will be personally inspected by the evaluators.

Dean Monaimah G. Manabilang, PhD of the College of Social Sciences and Humanities (CSSH) emphasized that this activity will determine the relevance of the offered programs to the BARMM and to the world in general.

“When our programs are certified, they will gain more authority to respond to the issues and challenges our world is facing today. It is in education that we receive moments of enlightenment which all of us need to make positive transformations,” she said.

This same statement was corroborated by Dean Ainnie M. Gangco, MSHM of the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management (CHTM) when she emphasized that the COPC is one of the ways for a university to be well known in the world.

According to Clesan R. Calbe-Naga, a faculty of CHTM, “We need COPC to continuously offer BS Hospitality Management program in the BARMM through the mandate of RA 10931 otherwise known as the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act.”

On a brief interview with Dr. Sophia A. Sharief of MBHTE-BARMM, she explained that this COPC is the initial step before SUCs or LUCs can be accredited to higher levels. COPC is issued to specific degree programs being offered by SUCs or LUCs that have fully complied with the policies, standards and guidelines of CHED or MBHTE after undergoing rigid inspection and assessment by the accrediting team.

Further, it is noted that it was in 2021 when 41 academic programs of MSU-Marawi passed the accreditation conducted by the Accrediting Agency for Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP). In fact, the University was also named the Top 1 Performing SUC with the highest number of Level I Accredited programs during that time.

Finally, this activity is also part of the 10-point Agenda of the MSU System President, Atty. Basari D. Mapupuno particularly on taking bolder strides toward academic excellence. The evaluation of documents of the participating programs and offices commenced in the afternoon yesterday, March 13 and will be concluded on March 16, 2023.
