In accordance with the pertinent provisions of Republic Act (RA) No. 7722, otherwise known
as the "Higher Education Act of 1994," in pursuance of an outcomes-based quality
assurance system as advocated under CMO 46 s. 2012, and by virtue of the Commission en
bane Resolution No. 268-2015 dated May 25, 2015 the following policies, standards and
guidelines (PSGs) are hereby adopted and promulgated by the Commission.
ARTICLE I
INTRODUCTION
Section 1 Rationale
Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of CMO 46 s 2012, this PSG
implements the "shift to learning competency-based standards/outcomes-
based education." It specifies the 'core competencies' expected of graduates
of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS), Bachelor of Science in
Information Systems (BSIS), and Bachelor of Science in Information
Technology (BSIT), "regardless of the type of HEI they graduate from "
However, in "recognition of the spirit of outcomes-based education and .. of
the typology of HEls," this PSG also provides "ample space for HEls to
innovate in the curriculum in line with the assessment of how best to achieve
learning outcomes in their particular contexts and their respective
missions ... "
The field of computing is ever dynamic; its advancement and development

had been rapid and its evolvement is a continuous process (O'Brien, 2008).
To face the challenges of advancement. the Commission recognizes the need
to be responsive to the current needs of the country. It is essential and
important that the country's computing capability be continually developed
and strengthened to be at par globally.
It is the objective of the Commission lo develop and promote the Policies,

Standards and Guidelines (PSG) for BSCS, BSIS and BSIT, to provide a
minimum standard for Higher Education Institutions (HEls) offering or
intending to offer these programs. The PSG is developed with consultations
from all stakeholders, from the academe to industry (Sarmiento, 2009).
The PSG contains provisions that cultivate the culture of excellence in

offering these programs. This is in line with the vision of the Commission to
have HEls produce competent graduates that shall cater to the needs of the
industry. The PSG is also designed for all HEls to exercise their
innovativeness and creativity in the development of their curricula in the
offering of BSCS. BSIS, and BSIT programs (RA 7722, 1994).

ARTICLE II
AUTHORITY TO OPERATE
Section 2 Government Recognition
All Higher Education Institutions :HEls) including private HEls, State

Universities and Colleges (SUCs), and Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs)
intending to offer BSCS, BSIS, and BSIT must first secure proper authority
from the Commission in accordance with this PSG. All HEls with existing
BSCS, BSIS, and/or BSIT programs are required to shift to outcomes-based
approach pursuant to this PSG and must inform the Commission of such shift,
sues and LUCs should likewise strictly adhere to the provisions in these
policies, standards and guidelines.
ARTICLE Ill
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3 The succeeding articles provide minimum standards and other requirements
and prescriptions. The minim um standards for each program are expressed
as minimum sets of desired program outcomes which are given in Article IV
Section 6, The Commission designed sample curricula to attain such
outcomes and these are shown in Article V Section 9, The total number of
units for each program is here prescribed as the "minimum unit requirement"
under Section 13 of RA 7722. In designing the curricula, the Commission
employed curriculum maps which are shown in Article V Section 10 as
sample curriculum map.
Using a learner-centered/outcomes-based approach, the Commission

provided sample curricula delivery methods shown in Article V Section 11.
The sample course syllabi given in Article V Section 12 show some of these
methods
Based on the curricula and the means of their delivery, the Commission
determined the physical resource requirements for the library, laboratories
and other facilities and the human resource requirements in terms of
administration and faculty, as indicated in Article VI.
Section 4 The HE ls are allowed to design curricula suited to their own contexts and
missions provided that they can demonstrate that the same leads to the
attainment of the required minimum set of outcomes, albeit by a different
route In the same vein, they have latitude in terms of curriculum delivery and
in terms of specification and deployment of human and physical resources as
long as they can show that the attainment of the program outcomes and
satisfaction of program educational objectives can be assured by the
alternative means they propose.
The HEls can use the CHED Implementation Handbook for Outcomes-
Based Education (QBE) and the Institutional Sustainability Assessment
(ISA) as a guide in complying with Sections 16, 17 and 22 of Article VII,
hereof.
This PSG is based on the 10-year basic education system and on the existing
General Education (GE) program. It reflects the reform towards outcomes-
based education as well as international trends in computer science,
infonmation systems and information technology curricula. However, this does
not yet include necessary changes as a consequence of the K-12 reform. The
latter shall be addressed subsequently.

ARTICLE I
INTRODUCTION
Section 1 Rationale and Background
The Commission on Higher Education has approved programs for

Computer Science, Information Technology and Information Systems.
These shall henceforth be referred to as Computing Programs. This
shall also include any programs that may be endorsed by the Technical
Panel for Information Technology Education (TPITE), and
subsequently approved by CHED.
The Thesis / Capstone Project are required for candidates for

graduation in all Computing Programs. Both the thesis and capstone
projects are terminal project requirements that would not only
demonstrate a student's comprehensive knowledge of the area of
study and research methods used but also allow them to apply the
concepts and methods to a specific problem in their area of
specialization.
BS Computer Science students are required to complete a thesis that

is focused on the theories and concepts of computing in the form of a
scientific work.
BS Information Systems students must complete a project in the form

of a business application development, or an Information Systems
plan.
BS Information Technology students must complete a capstone project

in the form of an IT application, a Multimedia Systems development, or
an IT Management project.
It is expressly understood that Computing Thesis and Capstone

projects need not require surveys, statistics, and descriptive methods,
_unless appropriate.
HEls are required to include thesis and capstone projects in their

curricula. The Policies and Standards for Undergraduate Thesis
intends to serve as a guide for administrators, faculty and students
49 ! I',·
alike in determining what are allowable standards or capstone projects
in the context of undergraduate studies in Computing.
ARTICLE II
THESIS/ CAPSTONE PROJECTS SPECIFICATIONS
Section 2 Definitions
2.1 A Thesis is a technical report on a systematic investigation of a

problem that can be solved using Computing. It may include a
solution, an approximate or partial solution, a scientific
investigation, or the development of results leading to the
solution of the problem.
2.1.1 A Computer Science thesis must be anchored on

Computer Science principles.
2.2 A Capstone Project is an undertaking appropriate to a

professional field. It should significantly address an existing
problem or need.
2.2.1 An Information Technology Capstone Project focuses on

the infrastructure, application, or processes involved in
introducing a Computing solution to a problem.
2.2.2 An Information Systems Capstone Project focuses on

business processes and the implications of introducing a
Computing solution to a problem.
Section 3 Scope of the Theses/ Capstone Projects
The Thesis or Capstone Project should integrate the different courses,

knowledge, and competencies learned in the curriculum. Students are
encouraged to produce innovative results, generate new knowledge or
theories, or explore new frontiers of knowledge or application areas.
For Computer Science, theses involving the development of the

software systems should involve algorithm-based research and
development founded on Computer Science principles. This should be
reflected in the final report.
For Information Technology Capstone Projects, recommended

infrastructure and its implications on other systems should be clearly
specified in the final report with the introduction of the project.
For Information Systems Capstone Projects, changes in process and

information flow and/or information policies with the introduction of the
system should be clearly specified in the final report.
The thesis/capstone project adviser should determine the appropriate
complexity level of the specific problem being addressed and the
proposed solution, considering the duration of the project, the
composition of the team, and the resources available.
