Abstract Quality of education is usually tested by accreditation. Higher education institutions in the Philippines are in the context of unspoken competition. Every HEI claims it is the best in this town, province, region, or even in the Philippines. Everyone can do that but when validity and reliability of that claim is questioned, proofs need to come out. This is where accreditation comes in. This paper utilized the mixed method, embedded design. The quantitative part used the descriptive design, survey method in which the researcher used stratified random sampling to recruit participants that represent the administration, faculty, staff and students to answer the survey questionnaires and out of these 100 participants as representative sample, eight participants were purposively chosen for the structured, in-depth interview. Narratives from the series of interviews were analyzed for common patterns, resulting to platforms or themes discussed. Observation and existing records were also used to triangulate the results of the interview. Four themes emerged in this study, namely; Standardizing brand of excellence, Empowering Continuously to Achieve Excellent Quality of Education, Facilitating Sustainability for the Future and Challenging for Higher Level of Quality of Education. Top Keywords Quality of education, excellent education, accreditation, case study, models. Top |
