CLSU gets government recognition

THE OPEN University (OU) of the Central Luzon State University (CLSU) got recently a certificate of recognition as a distance education provider fromt the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd). The recognition came after an ocular inspection and evaluation conducted by CHEd's technical panel for Distance Education and Transnational Education. The technical panel recommended the certificate of recognition after finding that the school exceeded minimum requirements for a permit to operate. The technical panel's evaluation covered both existing and new curricular offerings of the Open University, according to Dr. Flor Amor Monta, OU Dean. The OU, which started in 1997, currently offers six masteral and two doctoral programs, eight certificate programs and two diploma courses.
