THE OFFERING BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENTERTAINMENT AND MULTIMEDIA COMPUTING IN SORSOGON STATE UNIVERSITY –BULAN CAMPUS: A FEASIBILITY STUDY

Abstract

The Bachelor of Science in Entertainment and Multimedia Computing (BSEMC) is a degree program which deals with the study and use of concepts, principles, and techniques of computing in the design and development of multimedia products and solutions. This mixed design research aimed to investigate the feasibility of offering the BSEMC program in Sorsogon State University (SorSU) - Bulan Campus. Findings revealed that there is a high necessity for offering Bachelor of Science in Entertainment and Multimedia Computing. The administration can also expect a moderate number of enrollees in the program to guarantee its sustainability. This new program offering will greatly benefit the various stakeholders such as the government, the community, the business industries, and the students. Moreover, it is coherent with the institution’s vision and mission. Generally, the faculty requirements are complied with since CHEd Memorandum Order No. 02, series of 2014 only requires compliance with at least one of the faculty qualifications. The laboratories and physical facilities requirements are also complied with since the SorSU also offers ITeducation programs, which share almost similar standards. It is, therefore, concluded that the offering of the BSEMC program in SorSU Bulan Campus is feasible. It is recommended for SORSU Bulan Campus administration to draft a program curriculum for the implementation of BS Entertainment and Multimedia Computing in its ICT Department.
