This commitment aligns directly with the School of Criminal Justice and Public Safety's mission and objectives, emphasizing the graduation of well-rounded individuals equipped with essential competencies for success in an ever-changing world. To assess the level of fulfillment of these mission and objectives, as well as the attainment of required competencies, a quantitative descriptive study was conducted.

The findings revealed a high level of fulfillment of the school's mission and objectives, with a weighted mean of 3.59. Additionally, the competencies required for each year level in both programs were fully attained. For the Bachelor of Forensic Science, the overall mean is 3.29, specific findings revealed that for the First-Year level, the competencies "Know when it is appropriate to listen and when to speak" and "Respond open-mindedly to different ideas and values" both received the highest mean score of 3.60, indicating they were Fully Attained.

While for the Bachelor of Science in Criminology the overall mean is 3.36, specific findings revealed that for the First Year Level of Bachelor of Science in Criminology, the competency on "Manifest a desire to continuously pursue personal and professional development" got the highest mean which is 3.44 (Fully Attained), while the competency "Have a thorough Understanding on the provisions of RA 11131" got the lowest mean which is 3.06 (Highly Attained). For the Second-Year level, the competency on "Understanding the duties and responsibilities of the first responder, investigator and SOCO team at the crime scene" has the highest weighted mean of 3.34 (Fully Attained).
