West Visayas State University (WVSU) President Dr. Joselito F. Villaruz welcomed visitors from the University of Southeastern Philippines (USEP), Davao City, for a benchmarking activity designed to promote academic excellence and strengthen inter-university collaboration.
The USEP delegation, composed of Prof. Gresiel Ferrando and Prof. Nancy Mozo, faculty members, visited WVSU to benchmark its Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS), Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT), and Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLIS) programs.
This benchmarking activity forms part of USEP’s ongoing curriculum review and enhancement efforts aimed at aligning their programs with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) standards, current industry demands, and global best practices.
During the visit, the delegation engaged in insightful discussions on curriculum design, outcomes-based education implementation, laboratory and facility management, and the integration of emerging technologies in teaching and learning. WVSU’s hospitality and openness to knowledge exchange continue to highlight its leadership in innovation, research, and academic partnership-building across Philippine higher education.
