History of the Quality Assurance Office and Key Milestones

The Quality Assurance Office [(QAO] of Northern Bukidnon State College was founded in 2020 along the conversion of Northern Bukidnon State College from Northern Bukidnon Community College through RA 11284. The office  ensures that academic programs and institutional processes meet and exceed the standards set by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), national accrediting bodies, and international standards.

NBSC’s QA Office facilitates compliance with requirements for institutional and program accreditations such as those by COPC, ISA, AACCUP, ISO certifications, and other professional bodies, which are vital for SUC leveling and funding support.

The QA Office fosters a culture of continuous quality improvement by monitoring performance, identifying gaps, and implementing strategies for enhancement in teaching, learning, research, and extension services.

By ensuring quality education and efficient processes, the QA Office promotes the satisfaction of students, faculty, staff, and external stakeholders, building the institution’s credibility and reputation.

The QA Office helps align the institution’s programs and processes with global standards, enhancing the competitiveness of its graduates and fostering international partnerships.

Northern Bukidnon State College achieved a significant milestone in 2020 by securing 100% Certificates of Program Compliance. In 2024, the College further demonstrated its commitment to excellence by attaining Level 1 AACCUP Accreditation for all five (5) programs. Building on these accomplishments, the Quality Assurance Office, in collaboration with the entire NBSC community, is set to pursue ISO 9001:2015 Certification in 2025.
