III. Environmental Scanning/SWOT Analysis

A. Description of Internal Environment (Strengths and Weaknesses)
STRENGTHS:
The Faculty
The faculty members handling the program are educationally qualified and earned degrees relevant to the courses they are
teaching. The Dean provides a system to assist graduating students with academic deficiencies with the help of the academic adviser
for them to graduate in the prescribed time frame using the Learning Assistance Program (LAP) offered by the college. Data on
feedback from the industry partners regarding the performance of the two graduates has not been conducted.
Curriculum

The subjects in the fourth year are logically arranged that the students can take CD Practicum simultaneously with other class
based subjects without having to sacrifice one over the other.

The Students
Students demonstrate high involvement in the maintenance and cleanliness of classroom as evident in their homeroom
organization.

Facilities
The University has several sources of income and keeps on growing making its fiscal resources adequately sustainable and
soon may establish a business hub. The university has solicited a new ambulance for the medical and dental service.

WEAKNESSES:
The Faculty

Faculty members particularly for General Education courses experienced work overload. Only a few faculties have started
instructional materials production. Some instructional materials produced and used by the faculty have not been reviewed and
approved by the Instructional Materials Committee. Not everyone is given the opportunity to attend in-service training or seminar
outside the university.

Curriculum
There is non-uniformity in the implementation of the needed requirement such as syllabus, TOS, item analysis, questionnaires
and giving of grade percentages. There is no standards form documenting make-up classes. There is no clear evidence that instruments
for evaluation of student performance have been reviewed and monitored periodically and revised.

The Students
Students entering the CD program are not screened. Tracer study program is inadequate.
Facilities

There is an evidence of limited water drinking station /corner in the campus. The existing covered pathways in front of the
Alumni Hall are no longer sufficient to respond in protecting the students from heat of the sun and rain when they transfer from one
building to another. Dental equipment is inadequate for a more efficient service for the increasing student population. Professional
books in community development are inadequate. Inadequate sets of computers or research purposes and there is an evidence of the
limited number of computers against the number of users. Subscription of professional journals is very limited in the field of
community development.
B. Description of External Environment (Opportunities and Threats)
OPPORTUNITIES
Scholarships are openly available to all faculty members. The administration is encouraging everyone to study post graduae
tudies.
THREATS
A public utility road crosses the schools territory, putting the safety of the students at stake for possible vehicular accidents
and damage/loss of school properties
