The Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines, Incorporated (PCAP) recognized WMSU-College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE) as the top performing school in the Zamboanga Peninsula region.
This recognition was conferred during the oath-taking and induction ceremony of new criminologists held last March 13, 2023, at the Astoria Plaza Hotel.
A plaque of recognition was given to WMSU for garnering 84.40% passing rate for first-time takers of the December 2022 Criminologists Licensure Examination given by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) through the Professional Regulatory Board of Criminology.
The recognition is a testament that the University, with Dr. Ma. Carla A. Ochotorena at the helm, is dedicated to the development of future criminal justice professionals who are equipped with knowledge, skills, and values in addressing the problems of local and transnational crimes, and the competence to meet the challenges of global policing.
