Overview

The Faculty Development Office (FDO) is an academic unit under the Office of the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. Its main responsibility is to plan, implement, and monitor the faculty development programs of the schools and departments as well as those of the Institute.

The programs of FDO are largely based on the needs analysis done by the schools’ deans and subject chairs. FDO coordinates with the deans and subject chairs to align the faculty development programs of the Institute. The overall goal of FDO is to enhance the teaching ability of faculty members through formal and non-formal education. This is also in line with the accreditation requirements of the Commission on Higher Education and other accrediting bodies.

FDO has two major programs:

1. Formal Education, which is a long-term development program.
2. Non-formal Education, which is a short-term development program
