Revised Curriculum for

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Effective First Semester 2018-2019

I. RATIONALE
Over the years, the Philippine education has been the focus of the
government’s social policy. Access to the promotion of quality education has
become the basic state policy. The Ifugao State University (IFSU) has done its
part in providing and improving its delivery of quality education to its clienteles.
It offers the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) in tow
campuses. Lamut and Alfonso Lista campuses.

The field of computing is ever dynamic; its advancement and development had
been rapid and its involvement is a continuous process (O’ Brien, 2008). To
face the challenges of advancement, the Commission on Higher Education
(CHED) recognizes the need to be responsive to the current needs of the
country. It is essential and important that the country’s computing capability be
continually developed and strengthened to be at par globally.

Based on the guidelines on the implementation of CHED Memorandum Order

No. 46 s, 2012, it seeks to implement the “shift to learning competency-
based/outcome-based education”. It specifies the “core competencies”
expected of graduates of “Bachelor of Science in Information Technology,
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and Bachelor of Science in
Information Systems.

The face paced in the field of computing has driven policy-makers to craft
policies and guidelines in order to be responsive to the needs of the country
and be at par with that of other countries. CMO 46 series of 2012 seeks to
implement the shift to learning competency-based standards/outcome based
education.

The College of Computing Sciences (CCS) at IFSU recognizes the shifting to

outcomes-based education, innovate curriculum to deliver the specified
competencies expected of an Information Technology (IT) graduate.

After series of workshops and activities involving the University and the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Board of Regents of IFSU
approved the revised curriculum for Bachelor of Science in Information
Technology as per Resolution No. 749 s, 2018.

II. OBJECTIVES
This issuance also seeks to enhance the BSIT curriculum, specifically,
 1. It seeks to globalize the curriculum, producing globally competitive
graduates;
2. It aims at revising the curriculum which is responsive to the needs of the
country and abroad; and
3. It seeks to implement the “shift to learning competency-based
standards/outcomes-based education”
