Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the awareness in terms of statement and dissemination and acceptability in account for understanding, clarity and consistency, congruence and attainability of the vision, mission and institutional goals of Pangasinan State University and the program objectives of AB Economics program. It uses a descriptive type of research using a survey questionnaire as the main research instrument. The participants of the study were the internal stakeholders of the University consisting of administrators, faculty members, non-teaching staff and students and external stakeholders including alumni, parents or guardian, industry partners and cooperating agencies. Weighted mean was utilized as the primary tool for statistical treatment of data and SPSS was employed for statistical analysis. Findings disclose that the stakeholders are highly aware and they understand and accept the PSU vision, mission, institutional goals and AB Economics program objectives, in general. The result likewise reveals that the stakeholders generally contemplate the VMGO to be clear and consistent with each other, congruent to educational practices, projects or activities and most likely attainable. It further indicates that the internal stakeholders especially the administrators, faculty members and students, are more aware, and they understand and accept more the VMGO as compared to the external stakeholders. Based on the salient findings, it is recommended that the University should continuously work for more intensive effort in disseminating the VMGOs through the use of various forms of communication media and a planned program of activities. Educational practices and activities in the university must further be reinforced for the realization or attainment of the goals and objectives of the AB Economics program
