Bachelor of Science in Information Technology

Welcome to IT Department!

From our humble beginnings in 1998, we became one of the pioneers for Information Technology Education in the region. It took great dedication and effort for our faculty members, support staff, and students to achieve what we are now.

Mr. David Kearns said, “In the race for quality, there is no finish line.” We also never stop improving our operations and achieving quality and excellence. We firmly believe that it is proper to give back to our clients and stakeholders the best. Accreditation of the BSIT program is an avenue to realize this objective. We have prepared our report documenting our passion, processes, and results for quality in service delivery. Undoubtedly, your insights, time, and expertise during this accreditation can surely help us see what we are now and further what we can be in the future.

Thank you very much and may you have a pleasant virtual stay with us.

The BS Information Technology program in PSU-Urdaneta is one of the top producers of quality IT graduates. The program consistently adheres to the CHED standards set for higher educational institutions and continuously updates its curricular offering in response to the ever-changing IT field.

Over the years, the IT degree program has been a well-sought-out course. The number of enrollees continued to rise year after year since its start in 1998. As globalization spreads, the need for IT graduates will continue to rise.

Prompted by the need to serve the stakeholders with quality education, the Department has been subjected to accreditations to ensure excellence in its four-fold services, namely, instruction, research, extension, and production. The quest for excellence is a lifelong commitment of the IT Department.

As the challenges of delivering educational services are getting tougher, the IT Department cannot afford to be complacent. With the assistance of the present PSU-administration, the department was able to acquire modern laboratory equipment that offers hands-on training to students, preparing them to enter the job market with the best training.

Moreover, the strength of the department comes from its committed and dedicated faculty who work tirelessly to support the University in its quest to make the institution the top State University in the ASIAN region. Even the pandemic ravaged the entire world, hitting hard the educational institutions, it was unable to break the determination of the IT faculty to deliver quality instruction.

The IT Department is committed more than ever to giving the best education possible to students who entrust their future to Pangasinan State University.
