CCDC Academic Freedom Policy Ushers Research Enthusiasts to Diverse Learning Engagements and Opportunities

In the exercise of academic freedom, CCDC has set standards of practice in the delivery of curricular and non-academic programs and services. Academic freedom in Philippine jurisprudence encompasses the independence of an academic institution to determine for itself who may teach, what may be taught, how it shall teach, and who may be admitted to study. 

In the area of teaching-learning and research, CCDC, in its Philosophy Statement, places the student as the center of the educational process and that all efforts of the school are anchored on ensuring access of students to quality education. Moreover, the mission of CCDC is to deliver quality education and services through holistic, accessible, and inclusive learning experiences sustaining culturally sensitive and responsible global citizens and leaders.

In its pursuit to mold students into becoming culturally sensitive and responsible global citizens and leaders, it is the policy of the institution to provide more realistic and borderless learning engagements. One of which is in the area of research where learning goes beyond classroom lectures to exposures with community life, issues, challenges, and realities. 

Research in CCDC is a curricular and professional exercise. The curricular research is an academic requirement whereby students must come up with an academically sound and significant research relevant to their academic field. On the other hand, faculty members are highly encouraged to conduct research as a professional exercise.

 The institution has set its Research Agenda that encompasses the various fields of study. Research enthusiasts are guided by the institutional Research Agenda in determining their research focus. Findings are published, disseminated in conferences, or shared directly to stakeholders.
