Philippine Christian University-Dasmariñas (PCU-Dasma)
Philippine Christian University-Dasmariñas is one of the campuses of PCU, a private university in the Philippines. This institution has produced quality students with their regular undergraduate programs and Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA) under their ETEEAP.

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.

DHEIs Offering Bachelor of Science in Criminology under ETEEAP
Pangasinan State University (PSU)
One of the largest state university in the country with eight campuses scattered in strategic locations in the province of Pangasinan. Since it is a state university, it is also one of the cheapest (if not the cheapest) of all schools that offer Bachelor of Science in Criminology (BSCrim) in the whole country under the ETEEAP.
Pangasinan is also the home of the ETEEAP founder, former president Fidel V. Ramos, who was also a decorated military officer. It is also the home of several military, police officers and law enforcers who made a record for themselves in their respective fields. It is therefore appropriate that their state university offers this specialized degree.
One of the pioneers among ETEEAP DHEIs during the program’s infancy, and has a track record of unblemished implementation of the program. One of their advertisements years ago said, “We produce leaders” and they lived up to it as a number of its graduates pursued their careers in the military and police force and some retired as generals.
Another pioneer DHEI in the ETEEAP field. UC-BCF also has a track record of producing top-caliber graduates in its different programs, with equally unblemished implementation of ETEEAP.

PSU ETEEAPLearning Modality
PSU implements and delivers ETEEAP using the self-paced/self-guided Modular Learning System. Please see below the differences of the four learning systems used by different schools. You may also visit this link for the comprehensive discussion.
1) Face to face o inperson (F2F or IP) – Pupunta ang estudyante sa school at doon mismo mag-aral kasabay ng iba pang mga estudyante. Ito ay tinatawag na SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING.
2) Online – Hindi pupunta sa school ang estudyante ngunit mag-aaral din ito kasabay ng iba sa pamamagitan ng mga online learning tools tulad ng Zoom, Google Meet at Classroom, Messenger at iba pang virtual conference tools. SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING din ito.
3) Modular – Hindi pupunta sa school o sa online ang estudyante kundi matatanggap niya ang mga lesson niya sa door to door delivery, email o sa school portal at gagawin niya sa sariling schedule ang pag-aaral saka niya i-submit ang mga assignment niya sa pareho ding paraan ng pag-deliver sa kanya. Ito ay tinatawag na ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING.
4) Hybrid – Ito ay anumang combination ng number 1, 2 at 3. Mayroong hybrid online-modular (HOM) at hybrid inperson-modular (HIM) o hybrid face-to-face and modular (HFM).
SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING – Sabay-sabay na mag-aral ang mga estudyante sa loob ng classroom o iba pang bahagi ng school campus, o sa pamamagitan ng mga virtual conference tools tulad ng Zoom, Google Meet, at Messenger.
ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING – Hindi sabay-sabay ang pag-aaral at tatapusin ng estudyante ang mga assignment niya sa module na ipapadala sa kanya, sa pag log-in sa school portal o LMS, o sa Google Classroom ng school.
