The Accountancy Program of the USJ-R College of Commerce is recognized by the Commission on Higher Education as a Center of Development for “exhibiting potential in providing quality instruction, research, and extension services.
”USJ-R is the first and only school in Cebu to be given such recognition. To date, only four schools in the entire Philippines share the title.
USJ-R’s achievement of the Center of Development award stems from the remarkable performance of the USJ-R Accountancy Department in recent years. In fact, in the last four years alone, USJ-R has produced five CPA Board Topnotchers: a 3rd placer in 2007, a 5th placer in 2009, and a 1st, 3rd, and 6th placer this 2010. Likewise, in terms of passing percentage, USJ-R was adjudged as a Top Performing School, having been ranked nationwide as No. 1 in 2008 and Nov. 2 in 2009.
College of Commerce Dean Dr. Edgar Detoya, Accountancy Department Chair Mr. Elestio Padul, and University President Rev. Fr. Enrico Peter A. Silab, OAR received the award on Nov. 5, 2010 at the CHED Auditorium in UP Diliman, Quezon City.
