Bachelor of Industrial Technology
Most state (and some private) universities offer Bachelor of Industrial Technology with the corresponding majors to the applicants’ skills under their ETEEAP. But what are these degree programs? Are they considered bachelors degree? And what are their equivalents?
Let us take a closer look at this field. We will use the Commission on Higher Education Memorandum Order, which was signed and released on September 5, 2023 by CHED and called CMO-No-13-Series of 2023-BInd-Tech (CMO-13-S2023).
We only uploaded the image of the first 5 pages on this post as this is a 161-page document. If you want to see all the pages, you may click/tap on the links to either the CHED website or our resource page below. Documents from these links contain exactly the same information.
We don’t need to expound about this topic as the information on first 5 pages of the CMO on the following images are enough to explain what these programs are and their equivalent. Suffice to mention here the information found in the Article IV, Section 5.
Here is what it says:
