From October 25 to 27, 2023, the Master of Science in Aquaculture program of the College of Fisheries in Central Luzon State University (CF-CLSU) underwent a Level IV Phase II (2nd Cycle) online accreditation survey conducted by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) Inc. Esteemed accreditors, led by Dr. Boyet L. Batang from Isabela State University, along with Dr. Shiela G. Reyes from Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology and Dr. Noel A. Armada from Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology, evaluated five key areas of the program: Research, Teaching and Learning Outcomes, Community Service, International Linkages and Consortia, and Well-developed Planning Process.
An opening program was held during the first day of which the accreditation task force of the MS Aquaculture program was presented, and the mechanics of evaluation was briefly discussed. The second day featured Dr. Lorenz J. Fajardo, the Acting Dean of CF, presenting the program's highlights in the five areas. The accreditors had the opportunity to ask questions, seek clarifications, and offer recommendations based on the reviewed documents. On the third day, a closing program was conducted, during which the accreditors shared their impressions on what transpired in the three-day academic exercise. In response, the University President as represented by Dr. Theody B. Sayco, expressed his commitment to address the recommendations provided by the accreditors.
