services at a rate where students see them as satisfactory. This descriptive

chose their course/program; the level of respondents' satisfaction with their
learning experiences while enrolled in their program; their perceptions on how
they were able to gain the competencies needed while enrolled in the
program; and their level of satisfaction on the student support services. This

departments of the institution, where their responses were gathered through
an adopted questionnaire deployed by the Academic and Planning Services.
Results convey that students are most influenced by family, their passion for
the profession, and their employment prospects in choosing their course and
major. Simultaneously, their learning experiences are very satisfactory in
both general education and major subjects. They believed that these courses
significantly helped them to become competent, proactive, and well-rounded
individuals.
Further, students are very satisfied with their services from the
Cashier's Office, Student Accounts Office, and the Guidance and Testing
Center. Moreover, most of the respondents would like to enroll in graduate
school after graduation, either full-time or part-time. Some would like to
enhance their technical skills by enrolling in short-term courses. Lastly, they
