Best schools in PH based on CHED COEs and CODs
If you are looking for the best possible school, it is important to know which universities in the country offer a great program. In order to uphold and improve world-class standards in the academe, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) awards institutions with a Center of Excellence” (COE) and “Center of Development” (COD). The COE and COD is awarded to institutions that show excellent performance in the areas of instruction, research and publication, extension and linkages, and institutional qualifications.
Institutions that are recognized with COEs or CODs are prioritized in the selection of CHED institutional partners on developmental projects. Aside from this, these institutions are entitled to other benefits such as faculty member scholarships for graduate studies, CHED research grants, consideration for conversion to University status, and identification as autonomous and deregulated higher education institution.
To guide students and parents in their school search, Edukasyon.ph has compiled 10 leading universities in the Philippines based on the number of CHED Centers of Excellence and Centers of Development the schools have.
