Representing the CHED Technical Panel was Dr. Derren N. Gaylo, while Dr. Ruby A. Serrano served as the representative of the Regional Quality Assessment Team. The evaluation assessed DNSC’s readiness and compliance in areas such as academic standards, faculty qualifications, curriculum design, learning resources, and research infrastructure.

We continuously refine our academic delivery, ensuring that our programs, particularly graduate programs, are not only COPC-led but instructional. The insights from today’s evaluation, moving forward, strengthen our instruction, research, extension, production, infrastructure, and digitalization efforts.”
Through the establishment of new doctoral programs, DNSC continues to nurture scholars, researchers, and educators while expanding access to high-quality postgraduate education for future leaders and innovators.
