Caraga State University’s Main Campus expands its academic horizons as the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)-Caraga officially approves two new degree programs: the Bachelor of Science in Architecture and the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, to be offered beginning in the first semester of the 2026-2027 school year.
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED)- Caraga Region has formally endorsed both programs. Report on the Result of the Preliminary Assessment (PRPA) No. 001, s. 2026 for the BS Architecture program was issued on January 12, 2026, followed by RRPA No. 002, s. 2026 for the BS Mechanical Engineering Program, two days later. The CHED assessment confirmed that the university, through its College of Engineering and Geosciences, has substantially complied with all mandatory criteria in Administration, Faculty, Curriculum, Library, and Laboratory and Physical Facilities.
These make the university the first SUC to offer the BS Architecture in the Caraga Region and the second to offer the BS Mechanical Engineering.
CHED also stated that it will require the college to fulfill the Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) after two years of program implementation. Upon receiving the final green light from the CSU Board of Regents, both programs are slated to begin accepting students in the first semester of School Year 2026-2027.
Bugsay, CSU!
