The Regional Quality Assessment Team (RQAT) of the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office III (CHEDRO 3) visited the Tarlac Agricultural University's College of Business and Management (TAU-CBM) on 5 July for a survey visit to evaluate its Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management (BSTM) program and validate the university’s adherence to the requirements for the Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC).

The RQAT assessor, Dr. Maria Anna David-Cruz of Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University (DHVTSU), was welcomed by Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson, TAU president, and the TAU-CBM faculty members led by their current dean, Dr. Erlie SD. Totaan at the Office of the President (OP) Conference Room.
Β 
In his message, Dr. Salunson declared that TAU is seeking to standardize its tourism program. "We want to help our neighboring towns manage the influx of tourists. We want them to be prepared to provide any service that growing and increasingly discerning potential customers are looking for or expecting from them," the TAU president said.

Following the presentation of RQAT objectives by Dr. David-Cruz, the formal assessment began with an ocular visit at the CBM building, Agritourism Hostel, and University Library. Aside from the curriculum, the RQAT assessor evaluated other aspects of the program such as the administration, faculty, library, physical facilities, and student services.

Concluding the RQAT visit, Dr. David-Cruz summarized the key observations and outcomes of the assessment as she also appreciated the entire CBM family for their collaborative efforts. The assessor also gave general remarks aimed for the continuous enhancement and improvement in some areas of the program.
Β 
The RQAT is intended to ensure that the BSTM program offered by TAU-CBM is of high quality and meets the required standards. This assessment is one of the requirements for TAU to ensure that there are student learning environments with quality instruction and sufficient resources and facilities. The CHED’s approval of such an audit signifies the commitment of the University to ensuring better services to its key customers; the students.
