The wait is over. Here's a compilation of higher educational institutions
all over the country that offer the best college education.
According to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), these universities "have demonstrated the highest degree or level of standard along the areas of instruction, research and extension".
This
article adopts the “PhilStar ranking” published last year for this year’s
update. The ranking is based on the number of centers of excellence (COE)
and centers of development (COD) awarded
by CHED: 1 COD = 1 point; while 1 COE = 2 points.
The
COEs and CODs are higher education institutions with the highest degree or
level of standards in the areas of instruction, research and extension. On this
list, the university systems (such as the UP, MSU, and USEP systems) are treated
on a campus-to-campus basis, separately, as per CHED’s format.
Take
note, however, that the COEs and CODs do not reflect the overall performance of
a university. The data reflected here are taken from the CHED records as of 20
August 2014. These designations remain valid until 31 May 2015.

Not reliable ang daming kulang.
ReplyDeletethat's true. the criteria using COE and COD are not accurate as are not complete. as we all know, application for COE or COD is voluntary. for example, the up diliman school of business is known to be the best business school in phils. yet it does not believe and apply for COE nor COD. another example, the upd college of education is the best but it does want nor need to be called a COE nor COD. the same thing is true for the upd college of engineering.
DeleteSabi sa website ng UST wala syang computer engineering na course? Pero according sa Wikipedia, COE sya sa architecture?
ReplyDeleteHa?
DeleteHa?
DeleteAno daw?
DeleteCOE as in Center of Excellence not Computer Eng'g. :)
DeleteIf you remove ? and replace "pero" with "at" it will all make sense kung anh sinabi nya lol
DeleteWikipedia is not a reliable source of information. I learned that in High school.
Deletelol. It'll be more credible if you use the rates of courses with CoE over the total courses offered. Also, You should also need to take into consideration the rates of the students in the programs offered.
ReplyDeleteBakit 14 schools ang top 10 ???
ReplyDeleteWhere is UP Manila? College of Public Health SEMEO TROPMED Center of Excellence, recognized not only here in the Philippines but also in Asia. This ranking has grey areas.
ReplyDeleteHow do they rank in Asia? In the world? According to last year's rankings NO Philippines university even made the top 100 list. Not one.

Well that was last year. Your tone was like you were questioning if these institutions were really worth to their respective tops. Apparently, you're right. But I hope it was only a question. With nothing to implies. I really do.
DeleteWhat's wrong with the question. I see that question valid and no need to be defensive.
DeleteMr. smith, have you really read the article? read it thoroughly. the article tells only about the ranking of universities in the philippines.. idiot! the ranking is not about asia! Stupid old man!
