Curriculum review and enhancement are carried out through consultations and feedback from faculty members, students, alumni, industry practitioners, and other relevant stakeholders. Their inputs are considered in identifying areas that need improvement and in ensuring that the curriculum remains responsive to current developments and workplace demands. Particular attention is given to office technology, records and information management, administrative procedures, business communication, customer relations, office systems and procedures, workplace ethics, and other emerging practices in the field of office administration. The BSOA curriculum also provides students with opportunities to develop both technical and professional competencies through classroom instruction, laboratory activities, simulations, practical exercises, experiential learning, and internship. These learning experiences allow students to apply the concepts and skills they acquire in the classroom to actual or simulated workplace situations. Through these activities, students are prepared to perform administrative and support functions effectively in government agencies, private organizations, educational institutions, medical and legal offices, and other professional work environments. The continuous review and enrichment of the curriculum are guided by the University's vision and mission, institutional outcomes, CHED requirements, stakeholder feedback, graduate employability, industry needs, and the competencies prescribed under CMO No. 19, Series of 2017.

Through these experiences, students develop practical competencies, professional attitudes, and workplace behaviors that are essential in the practice of office administration. A major component of the program's experiential learning is the On-the-Job Training (OJT)/Internship, which provides students with supervised exposure to actual office operations. Students are deployed to appropriate partner institutions and organizations where they perform tasks related to their field of study under the guidance of designated workplace supervisors and the supervision of the BSOA program. The internship enables students to connect theoretical concepts with actual administrative practices and provides an opportunity to demonstrate the competencies developed throughout their academic preparation.
COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTANCY Bachelor of Science in Office Administration LEVEL III | Phase II To provide students with varied workplace experiences, the BSOA program implements two relevant internship tracks that expose students to different administrative environments: 1. Medical and Legal Office Internship – provides students with practical exposure to administrative functions commonly performed in medical and legal office settings, including document preparation and processing, records handling, client or patient assistance, scheduling, communication, filing, and other appropriate office procedures. 2. Office Administration Internship – provides students with broader exposure to general administrative operations in government offices, private organizations, educational institutions, and other appropriate workplaces. Students are given opportunities to perform administrative, clerical, records, communication, and office support functions appropriate to their assigned workplace. Both internship tracks are intended to strengthen students' technical and professional competencies and prepare them for the transition from academic life to the workplace. The program coordinates with partner organizations, provides the necessary orientation and requirements, and monitors students' performance during their internship. Workplace supervisors and program personnel provide feedback on students' performance to help identify strengths and areas for further improvement. Through these field-based learning experiences, the BSOA program provides students with meaningful opportunities to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and professional values developed through their coursework. The OJT/Internship component therefore serves as an important link between academic preparation and actual workplace practice and supports the program's goal of producing competent, adaptable, and professionally responsible office administration graduates.

COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTANCY Bachelor of Science in Office Administration LEVEL III | Phase II The quest to improve the Bachelor of Science in Office Administration Education led to exploration of new teaching methods. These learning methods include cooperative learning, student preparations, group projects, experiential learning, student evaluations of others' work, independent learning projects, student –selected course topics, class discussion, and student-designed learning activities. The exploration and adaptation of new pedagogies to improve learning are major shifts in learning paradigm, because the new pedagogies focus more on learning than instruction. However, lecture or direct instruction is still a major pedagogical technique in the Office Administration classrooms. Classroom Instruction is also enriched through symposia, seminars, co-curricular activities and computer-aided learning. The attendance/participation of faculty in in-service trainings and conferences further enhances classroom instruction. d. Assessment of Academic Performance Student assessments are important parts of the Bachelor Science in Office Administration program. These assessments provide teachers, parents and students with insights regarding students’ progress, understanding, ability and knowledge of a particular subject. There are many methods for assessing the college student. The evaluation methods vary, ranging from objective tests to individual projects, to classroom presentations that demonstrate student knowledge and their acquisition of certain skills. 1. Written assessments such as tests or quizzes are traditional methods of assessing a student’s progress and understanding. There are only two examinations per semester/summer: the midterms and the finals. The College Dean prepares the schedules and disseminates them at least one week before the examination. Faculty members are not allowed to re-schedule their examinations without valid reasons and without the approval of the Dean. In the same manner, no special examination will be given to the students without valid reasons. Valid reasons are specified in Article 16, Section 2 of the Student Handbook. Special examination shall be given to students upon payment of a fee of fifty pesos (Php 50.00) per subject the special examination is given to the students upon presentation of the excuse slip and the official receipt of payment.

These tools also allow the students to participate in the assessment process since the students choose which of their outputs will be considered in evaluation. Observations noted on student improvement, concerns or suggestions are also compiled in the students file for future reference. 2. Research is a major course requirement in the Bachelor of Science in Office Administration Program. The students are required to enroll in 3 units of research subject. Research Students design a research proposal during the first semester of their senior year. It is submitted to their research instructor/professor for approval. Research students are required to defend their approved proposal before they conduct their study. Upon completion of the study, the students submit their manuscript together with a research nomination form to their research instructor/professor. It is the research instructor/professor who sets the schedule for the final defense. Each research has an adviser and three (3) panel members, which include a Subject Expert, Format Critic, and Chairperson. The final rating of the students in research is based on the following criteria: the submitted manuscript for final defense is fifty (50) percent distributed among general appearance, organization, relevance to community development, appropriateness of statistical treatments, and soundness and depth of interpretations, findings, conclusions, and recommendations. The other fifty (50) percent is on the researcher’s ability to defend their study, which covers mastery of content, clarity and logical presentation of the research, ability to communicate ideas orally, ability to comprehend and respond well to questions, and ability to demonstrate professional attitude throughout the proceedings. The research instructor/professor gives his/her own grade based on the performance and output of each student during the semester.
COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTANCY Bachelor of Science in Office Administration LEVEL III | Phase II 3. Grading System Kalinga State University implements a uniform grading system for its academic programs, including the Bachelor of Science in Office Administration. The grading system uses numerical ratings ranging from 1.00 to 5.00, with 1.00 as the highest grade and 5.00 as the failing grade. Grades are given in increments of 0.25, with 3.00 as the minimum passing grade. An Incomplete (INC) mark may be given to a student who has not completed the required course requirements due to a valid and justifiable reason, provided that the student's academic performance meets the prescribed conditions for the issuance of an INC. The INC status is temporary and must be completed within the period prescribed by University policies. Failure to complete the requirements within the prescribed period results in the conversion of the INC to 5.00, in accordance with existing University regulations. For courses that serve as prerequisites to succeeding subjects, the INC must be completed and appropriately resolved before the student is allowed to proceed with enrollment in the subsequent course. This policy ensures that students have satisfactorily completed the required prerequisite competencies before advancing to higher-level courses. The grading system provides a consistent basis for evaluating student performance and promotes transparency and accountability in the assessment of learning outcomes across the program. e.
