Curriculum Design

As a competency-based curriculum, it is anchored on the principle that qualified students will be able to demonstrate the core competencies in the eleven (11) key areas of responsibilities evaluated by various indicators/behaviors.
As a community-oriented curriculum, teaching-learning activities will revolve around the promotion of health, prevention of illness, curative and rehabilitation of clients in the community, throughout the 4 year program.
There is a balance in the program’s theory and practice instruction according to professional requirements.
It demonstrates the use of sound pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning.
To maintain the standard of excellence, the college utilizes strategies that teach clinical reasoning, problem solving and critical thinking in the BSN program.
