The Concrete Footprints… It was 1996 when Father Saturnino Urios University, Urios College before,
applied for Level II Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) Accreditation. In the same year, there were three accredited programs the Liberal Arts, Teacher’s College and Commerce. From this stride, the academe took few more purposeful steps for
Level III accreditation and for the remaining programs who have not been accredited by
PAASCU.

The increasing demand for quality education calls the need for schools to reassess their competence. It has been a necessity for schools to apply for accreditations from accrediting agencies since it has been a requirement for academic institutions. It is through this that schools will be able to gage their performance and to identify areas where they need to improve.

“Where am I going?” One of the overrated questions asked by many but answered only by few. Sad to say, I was once one of the many. Fortunately, a light shone and took me to an answer, Father Saturnino Urios University.

The consequence of the overwhelming economic and social issues of our community gave the modern world a reason to traverse more the world of knowledge. This is perceived as the key to resolve said problems.

In the academic world, this challenge is seized. Providing quality education and competitive graduates are the ultimate objectives of institutions. Students on the other hand are craving for more intelletual discoveries and in depth development. This is where higher educational institutions came in.

The once small school in the silent region of Caraga goes on a scream as it conquers the international arena!
