Arellano University has been deputized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in 2012 to accredit individuals’ actual achievements towards the conferment of an earned degree under the ETEEAP. An individual maybe granted a college diploma for a degree based on a competency-based evaluation and a comprehensive assessment system which utilizes written tests, interviews, skills demonstration, portfolios and other creative assessment methodologies.
Under the ETEEAP in Arellano University, students may enroll in courses offered by the College of Arts, College of Education and College of Nursing. These three colleges have been granted Level III Accreditation by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA), a requirement of the program.
