1 Republic of the Philippines Office of the President COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION HEDC Bldg., C.P. Garcia Ave., UP Campus, Diliman, Quezon City CHED MEMORANDUM ORDER No. Series of 2014 SUBJECT: POLICIES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR THE MASTER OF ARTS IN SOCIOLOGY & DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN SOCIOLOGY In accordance with the pertinent provisions of Republic Act (RA) No. 7722, otherwi se 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 Commission en banc Resolution No. dated 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/ outcomesbased education. It specifies the core competencies expected of MA/PhD Sociology graduates regardless of the type of HEI they graduate from. However, in recognition of the spirit of outcomes-based education and... of the typology of HEIs, this PSG also provides ample space for HEIs 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... ARTICLE II AUTHORITY TO OPERATE Sec. 2 Government Recognition All private higher education institutions (PHEIs) intending to offer MA/PhD Sociology must first secure proper authority from the Commission in accordance with these PSGs. All PHEIs with an existing MA/PhD Sociology program are required to shift to an outcomes-based approach based on these PSGs and must secure approval for such a shift. State universities and colleges (SUCs), and local colleges and universities should likewise strictly adhere to the provisions in these policies and standards. 1

2 ARTICLE III GENERAL PROVISIONS Sec. 3 The Articles that follow give minimum standards and other requirements and prescriptions. The minimum standards are expressed as a minimum set of desired program outcomes which are given in Article IV Section 6. The Technical Committee designed a curriculum to attain such outcomes. This curriculum is shown in Article V Section 8 as a sample curriculum. The number of units of this curriculum is here prescribed as the minimum unit requirement pursuant to Section 13 of RA In designing the curriculum the Technical Committee for Sociology employed a curriculum map which is shown in Article V Section 9 as a sample curriculum map. Using a learner-centered/outcomes-based approach the Technical Committee for Sociology also determined appropriate curriculum delivery methods shown in Article V Section 10. The sample course syllabi given in Article V Section 11 show some of these methods. Based on the curriculum and the means of its delivery, the Technical Committee for Sociology determined the physical resource requirements for the library, laboratories and other facilities and the human resource requirements in terms of administration and faculty (see Article VI). Sec. 4 The HEIs 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 HEIs can use the CHED Implementation Handbook for Outcomes- Based Education (OBE) and the Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA) as a guide in making their submissions for Sections 16, 17 and 18 of Article VII. These PSGs are based on the existing 10-year basic education system and on the existing GE program. They reflect the reform towards outcomesbased education but not the K12 Reform. The latter shall be addressed subsequently. 2

The degree names shall be: a) Master s Program: Master of Arts in Sociology (MA Socio) b) Doctoral Program: Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology (PhD Socio) 5.2 Nature of the Field of Study.
