Section 1 RATIONALE

–The PSG is designed to consider the

shift to outcomes based education.
–The PSG specifies the “core
competencies” expected of graduates
of
•BS Computer Science
•BS Information Systems
•BS Information Technology
Section 2 Authority to Operate

– All HEIs must secure authority from

CHED to offer the ITE programs. All
HEIs with existing ITE programs must
shift to outcomes based education
and inform the Commission when they
have complied.
Section 3 General Provisions
– The minimum standards for each program are
expressed as minimum sets of desired program
outcomes which are given in Article IV Section 6.
– The Technical Committees designed sample
curricula to attain such outcomes and these are
shown in Article V Section 9. The total number of
units for each program is here prescribed as the
“minimum unit requirement” under Section 13 of
RA 7722.
– In designing the curricula, the Technical
Committees employed curriculum maps which are
shown in Article V Section 10 as sample curriculum
map.
PERTINENT PROVISIONS OF REVISED
PSG FOR IT EDUCATION
–minimum sets of desired program
outcomes
–sample curricula to attain such
outcomes
–sample curriculum map
PERTINENT PROVISIONS OF REVISED
PSG FOR IT EDUCATION
– The HEIs are allowed to design curricula suited to their own
contexts and missions provided that they can demonstrate
that the same leads to the attainment of the required
minimum set of outcomes, albeit by a different route

– This PSG is based on the 10-year basic education system and

on the existing General Education (GE) program. It reflects
the reform towards outcomes-based education as well as
international trends in computer science, information
systems and information technology curricula. However, this
does not yet include necessary changes as a consequence of
the K-12 reform. The latter shall be addressed subsequently.
Allied Fields

– Computer Science, Information Systems,

and Information Technology are allied
fields. If a degree program has an overlap
of at least 50% of core and professional
courses in any of these programs, then it
shall also be considered as an allied field.
Moreover, allied fields have been
identified for each discipline for the
purpose of determining qualifications of
faculty members.
Section 6 Program Outcomes
– Common to all programs in all types of schools
The graduates have the ability to
• articulate and discuss the latest developments in the specific
field of practice. (Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF)
level 6 descriptor) (Graduate Outcomes: CS10, IS10, IT13)
• effectively communicate orally and in writing using both
English and Filipino (Graduate Outcomes: CS08, IS08, IT10)
• work effectively and independently in multi-disciplinary and
multi-cultural teams. (PQF level 6 descriptor) (Graduate
Outcomes: CS07, IS07, IT08)
• act in recognition of professional, social, and ethical
responsibility (Graduate Outcomes:CS09, IS09, IT12)
• preserve and promote “Filipino historical and cultural
heritage” (based on RA 7722)
Section 6 Program Outcomes:
Common to the Discipline
– analyze complex problems, and identify and define the
computing requirements needed to design an appropriate
solution (Graduate Outcomes:CS02, IS02-03, IT03)
– apply computing and other knowledge domains to address
real-world problems (Graduate Outcomes: CS01, IS01, IT01)
– design and develop computing solutions using a system-level
perspective (Graduate Outcomes: CS03-05, IS04-05, IT05)
– utilize modern computing tools (Graduate Outcomes: CS06,
IS06, IT07)

 General requirements

8/27/2016 72
 Section 8.3 Internship and OJT

• Internship/OJT/Practicum is an immersion program wherein

the students will have the chance and opportunity to be with
the IT industry. This program is important because the
students will have the chance to apply the skills, knowledge
and attitude learned in the school and at the same time the
opportunity to experience the corporate environment.
• Internship is a requirement for the BSCS, BSIS and BSIT
programs. Students are eligible to enroll the internship
program after completing 70% of the total number of units in
the curriculum.
• The minimum number of internship hours for the BSIS and
BSIT programs is 486 (9 units x 54 hours / unit) and 162 (3
units x 54 hours / unit) for the BSCS program.
 Section 8.4 Thesis / Capstone Project

• Thesis is required for BSCS while Capstone Project is required for BSIS
and BSIT. Both function as terminal project requirements that would not
