Area I: The VISION, MISSION, GOALS and OBJECTIVES
The Bicol University was established on June 21, 1969 through Republic
Act 5521. However, it was only in 1985 that the university started offering short-term
Computer courses for students, out-of-school youths, professionals and the general
public through the then newly established Computer Center. The center was further
converted to an institute named Bicol University Computer Science Institute in 1995
under Board Resolution no. 18 offering for the first time a college course in Computer
Science thus becoming a training ground for numerous professionals engaged in the
fields of Information and Communications Technology, research, teaching, business as
well as public and private employment. For a decade now, the program has been
contributing essential inputs of responsible and productive professional manpower
serving as partners in regional development.
Among the academic developmental directions of the university is the
establishment of the College of Science which commenced on September 10, 2004
through Board Resolution No. 75, series of 2004. It was formed when the former BS
Biology of BUCAS, BS Chemistry of BU-RSTC and BS Computer Science of Computer
Science Institute were merged in response to the need to pool together the facilities and
manpower skills for the development of an institution of higher learning and research in
basic and applied science and mathematics. Such establishment of the College of
Science is among those envisioned by the Bicol University Comprehensive Development
Plan.
Development initiatives to further enhance the quality of graduates that the
program is producing year after year includes matching up between the community
needs as reflected in development goals for the region and the directions of the BS
Computer Science program as reflected in its program objectives.
The BS Information Technology Program will undertake its Level 1 AACCUP
Survey to assess its institution’s vision and mission, college’s goals and program’s
objectives. With the program’s goal for academic excellence, the developmental MGO
structuring is therefore given important attention.

4. Procedures in the formulation, monitoring and review of the VMGOs
Below is the College and Program VMGO formulation procedure.
Introduction:
The College of Science was established on September 10, 2004 through
Bicol University Board of Regents Resolution No. 75, series of 2004. It was
formed when the former BS Biology of BUCAS, BS Chemistry of BU-RSTC and
BS Computer Science of the Computer Science Institute were merged in
response to the need to pool together the facilities and manpower skills for the
development of an Institution of higher learning and research in basic and
applied science and mathematics as envisioned by the Bicol University
Comprehensive Development Plan.
Accompanying the establishment of the new college is the creation of a
committee on VMGO, the members of which are 1-2 faculty members from
various departments of the college who are the VMGO-designated coordinators.
The committee initialed the formulation of the statement of Vision, mission,
functions and goals based on the university mandate. Since the BS Computer
Science had been completely transferred from the former Bicol University

Department of Computer Science
PART I – Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives
Computer Science Institute to the newly-emerged College of Science, the BS
Information Technology Program Objectives were restructured during its first
program offering on AY 2007. Series of consultations were made with faculty,
students (through representations), dean and assistant dean, non-teaching staff
of the college and some alumni.
Working Framework:
Figure 1 shows the working framework used by the college and the
department in the formulation, monitoring and restructuring/revision/updating of
the vision, mission, goals and objectives.
Initially, there was an organization of the VMGO committee in the college
composed of faculty-coordinators for VMGO from each of the department. In as
much as the college has just emerged, VMGO statements were initially
formulated based on the university mandate. These statements were polished in
a college seminar-workshop attended by the dept. chairmen, dept. facultycoordinator, Asst. dean, dean, & planning officer. The polished VMGO
statements were then presented to the University officials (president, vicepresidents, university directors of research, extension and student services).
Final polishing was made on the statement of the college VMG by incorporating
all the suggestions and recommendations.
At the department level, the faculty-coordinator for VMGO reviewed the
current statements of the program objectives and evaluated its consistency with
the college VMG statements. Likewise, the review considered the goals and
objectives of the BS Information Technology program as stipulated in the
CHED’s standards and policies for BS Information Technology, medium and
long-term development goals of NEDA, Science and Technology agenda and
development goals for the Bicol Region. Such review paved way to the focus of
the academic training that the BS Information Technology will have as to be
reflected in its program objectives.
The refined program objectives were presented to the core and affiliate
faculty of the Department, randomly selected students, parents, alumni and nonteaching staff for critiquing. Significant feedbacks / recommendations /
suggestions were documented and considered in the revision.
The revised statement of the Program Objectives was presented to the
Assistant Dean and Dean of the college for review and the suggestions and
recommendations were documented and incorporated in the final revision. The
revised Program Objectives of the BS Information Technology were finally
presented to the faculty of the college during the Enhancement Seminar of the
College of Science.

AND THE DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS
Monitoring of the VMGO is continuously done by the committee and the following
initial moves were taken:
a. on dissemination:
The flyers are available in the department, the posters are visually placed
in the strategic places as identified by the department, copies of the program
activities contain the statement of VMGOs, and updated syllabi include the
discussion and evaluation of the VMGOs.
b. on awareness:
Aside from the posters, flyers and other IEC materials for VMGO,
students’ awareness and understanding were evaluated through the student’s
examinations given by the faculty members. Copies of the examination were
documented.

PART I – Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives
c. on acceptability:
One possible indicator on the acceptability of the program objectives is
that there was an increase in the number of students who subscribed in the
courses offered, thus there was an increase in enrolment. For the linkages, there
was an increase in the number of requests for extension and research endeavors
tapping the college technical experts, thus the college and the department gained
wider research and extension opportunities.

9. Description of the implementation of the VMGO and their congruency with
educational practices and activities.
There is congruency between educational practices and activities
and the VMGO. Activities such as classroom discussions, symposia, seminar
workshops, educational tours, practical applications and case studies ensure
that quality education is provided to Information Technology students. All these
carry out the VMGO. It does not only prepare the students to be technically and
professionally competent practitioners in the field of Information and
Communication Technology but rather it makes them more responsive and
productive individuals.
10. Summary of the findings & recommendations of the Self Survey for Area I.
